Abstract
Free speech can be limited. The Founding Fathers did not give it the high standing many liberals accord it. Moreover, the courts have often limited it for various reasons, thus adding trigger warnings and safe spaces is quite within the main stream legal tradition. This is especially true about speech that causes significant harm, objectively verified. However, the Trump assault on free speech, especially the Press, it should be our highest priority for now to protect this crucial freedom.
