  • Free to Speak, Free to Think

    To say that freedom of speech is one of the major cornerstones of democracy is, by now, a well-worn out cliché, but the definition of the term itself remains elusive and controversial. Is this freedom absolute or
    should it have limits? Isn’t restricted freedom an oxymoron? Does freedom of speech grant us the right to say
    absolutely anything, even if it is hateful or incites violence?

Corrections

Bayan Atalib's Letter to the Editor, published in the June 7, 2024 issue of The Razor, referenced the International Court of Justice's use of the phrase "plausibly a genocide" to describe the situation in Gaza in its January 2024 ruling. Note that, although some news sources reported the story as such, the International Court of Justice did not use this phrasing. The Razor apologizes for the inaccurate quotation.
