| Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book as long as any document does not offend our own ideas of decency. That should be the only censorship. How will we defeat Communism unless we know what it is? [...] We have got to fight it with something better. Not try to conceal the thinking of our own people. They are a part of America and even if they think ideas that are contrary to ours they have a right to have them, a right to record them and a right to have them in places where they are accessible to others. It is unquestioned or it is not America. --from a speech at Dartmouth College, June 14, 1953 (Not "Dartmouth University" - credit Nick Person for the correction.) |
