It is ironic that, in an item on this web site describing Richard
Dawkins as a "gatecrasher", and describing how a colleague of Dawkins's
was unceremoniously hustled out of the film theatre, this same item
should conclude with the words:
"This film is about the freedom of speech, the freedom of ideas and
ability to express those ideas.not about whether God created the
heavens and the earth."
This seems to be some strange new meaning of the term "freedom of
speech" I was previously unaware of. However, I now understand what
GetExpelled means.
