JOIN US! JUNE 17, 2025
On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, American Public Square, the National WWI Museum and Memorial and the Kansas First Amendment Foundation will present the second program of the Civility Examined series.
This conversation will explore how free expression has been challenged, protected, and politicized by both political parties—on college campuses, within Congress, in international forums, and across an increasingly polarized public square. The program will also examine free speech within the Trump administration and the broader implications for democratic institutions at home and abroad.
Reshad Staitieh, programs director for The Conflict Resolution Center will moderate the discussion. Distinguished panelists include:
-
- Renée Diresta, associate research specialist – McCourt School of Public Policy (specializing in adversarial abuse in current information technologies)
- Laura Clark Fey, privacy law specialist – Fey, LLC
- Jonathan Turley, author, attorney and legal scholar
