“Absolute freedom doesn't exist and never did. Just as we don't spit on the floor at work, swear at customers, or send out letters full of misspellings, so too we might have to 'watch our language.' It is odd that the request for unbiased language in schools and workplaces is considered intolerable when other limits on our freedom to do whatever we want are not.” WantMightSchoolLanguageWatchesLimitsLettersAbsolutesCustomersOddSwearWorkplaceRequestSpitAbsolute FreedomUnbiased Author:Rosalie Maggio
