With this academic year’s theme of “Freedom of Expression,” this is an essential time to embrace what free speech principles entail. Engagement with political speech is not as simple or as easy as it sounds. Without political engagement, one might fall-short in how accurate their perception of the world is. I encourage getting involved with an organization such as Cornell Votes, which works to increase political engagement on campus.
