Back in October 2015, a video of a 36-year old woman in London verbally abusing a pregnant Muslim woman on a bus went viral. Needless to say, it was disturbing the see such hatred and foul language being directed towards someone who had done nothing to offend her other than being Muslim. The silver lining of this story, however, was that soon after this video was taken this woman was arrested for an “ alleged racially aggravated public order offence .” Of course, many people on and off social media defended her for having the right to express her opinion while others berated her for her blatant display of hatred and racism. Hearing about this woman’s arrest got me thinking about one of the most notorious liberties that America allows its citizens: Freedom of speech. Of course, America isn’t alone there; countless nations such as Canada, the UK, Australia, and many others offer that same right. And let’s be honest, freedom of speech is a great privilege to have.
