Before claiming free speech, one should define what it means. Because nowadays free speech is often used as an excuse for openly discriminatory positions. Speech, just like any other action, is impactful, so just like any other action, it should be limited, and its limits should be drawn according to ethical and practical principles. Or maybe does he mean that you're allowed to write papers without citing the works of your peers, and write bullshit and still be published/get a good grade as well ? And that one could shout hateful speech in a megaphone in the amphitheatre without being bothered ?
