Like the vast majority of submissions from outside the Daily Sun distribution area that make the cut for publication, Thursday’s letter from Anthony McManus of Dover reflected a left-of-center political talking point. This one expressed a sentiment that I share — specifically, dislike of laws prohibiting the teaching of “divisive concepts.”

Social media platforms now dominate the public forum, and dictate with increasingly brazen partisan purpose what users cannot say. Journalistic bias determines what stories will be covered or ignored in the news, and suggests what opinions should be applauded, or ridiculed. Amid this encroaching censorship, all government bodies should be fiercely protective of free speech.
