flag Ohio's governor urges colleges to protect free speech, saying offensive ideas should be met with more speech, not censorship.

flag Ohio Governor Mike DeWine urged colleges to protect free speech during a recent address, emphasizing that diverse ideas must be debated openly on campuses. flag He stressed that while safety concerns, like those following the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, are valid, they shouldn’t undermine First Amendment rights. flag DeWine called free expression a cornerstone of democracy and essential to learning, noting that the government cannot censor speech based on content, only regulate it neutrally by time, place, or manner. flag He reinforced that the remedy for offensive speech is more speech, not suppression, a principle rooted in the Supreme Court’s long-standing interpretation of the First Amendment.
