The Court made the right decision by ruling in favor of the press. Freedom of the press is indistinguishable from freedom of speech. This ruling protected both essential rights. #PolySciPost
People can be led to evil through the use of propaganda. The best defense against propaganda is the truth. By publishing the truth, Kay is fighting against propaganda and lies that were spread to the people. #PolySciPost
Kay is a fantastic advocate for free speech and a prime example of the model civically engaged citizen. Shame on the other members of the Post for doubting her just because she is a woman! #PolySciPost
The government has a responsibility to protect free speech. If they were to prosecute Kay, then they wouldn't be doing that. I believe the government should not prosecute her! #PolySciPost
Politics finds its authentic expression whenever citizens gather together in a public space to deliberate and decide about matters of collective concern. This is exactly what Kay and all the reporters did.
#PolySciPost
Kay is doing her ultimate civic duty by publishing this story. Reporting accurate news is essential to a healthy democracy. Without Kay's decision to publish, the public wouldn't be able to create their own educated opinion. #PolySciPost
Dan is the prime example of a citizen fulfilling his civic duties. Every citizen has the responsibility to be both civically engaged and participate in political deliberation. Dan exposing these documents means he is doing just that. #PolySciPost
The government should not be prosecuting the Times. Free speech if a right that must be protected by the government! You cannot protect the public sphere without also protecting free speech. #PolySciPost
Civic engagement is a requirement for a government to function correctly. A huge part of civic engagement is a free press that honestly reports the news. The Post has an obligation to break this story. #PolySciPost
Politics finds its authentic expression whenever citizens gather together in a public space to deliberate and decide about matters of collective concern.
This can be seen in the protests. #PolySciPost
The government must preserve the public sphere at all costs. The public sphere is a place for the exchange of political ideas and actions. The government is taking away the public sphere by not giving them the real info!
#PolySciPost
Politics finds its authentic expression whenever citizens gather together in a public space to deliberate and decide about matters of collective concern. By hiding what is going on, the government is preventing this from happening. #13DaysPS2019
