Freeze Speech
Free speech must be maintained in time of war as well as in peace or we have fought all our wars for nothing.

Elaine Kother, teacher in Georgia, was having open discussions with her students about the war.

Read about how she dealt with harassment and pressure to keep her mouth shut.
