Your Opinion: Free speech and political correctness

Leonard J. Steinman II

Jefferson City

Dear Editor:

The Constitution of the United States allows for the freedom of speech for the citizens of the United States. It does not address a so-called right of political correctness.

I served proudly in the United States Navy and the Missouri National Guard to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the right for the freedom of speech, not for this so-called political correctness.

Doesn’t political correctness take away your right of the freedom of speech, just because a select few think it doesn’t sound politically correct? Please let me know where in the Bill of Rights that freedom of speech was changed to the right of political correctness.

Think about it! Another right is being taken away from you.
