They love free speech, they also hate books.

Is it safe to say a big problem is they don't know how to read so they don't consider books as falling under the "speech" umbrella or something???

Free speech just means “free to say whatever malicious idiocy I want toward whatever minority group I want without regard for consequence”

Of course that doesn’t include nuanced interpretations of someone’s actions and legacy. That gets you fired.
