DAILY BRIEF: Veterans Being Denied Their Right to Freedom of Speech, Especially on College Campuses Like the Case of Yiorgos Maravelias at Rutgers & What It Means For You

On this episode of SDN, join SDN host Chris Heaven and attorney Christopher D’Alessandro, Esq. (combat deployed veteran and former LEO), as he discusses his defense of Yiorgos Maravelias US Army [honorable discharge], an Afghanistan veteran arrested for posting anti-Hamas flyers at Rutgers. We explore the clash of free speech and campus policies, highlighting the fight for veterans’ rights. Learn how Maravelias’ military service fuels his activism and what’s at stake for veteran students nationwide.

The silencing of veterans on college campuses is a troubling sign of our times. Yiorgos Maravelias, a veteran at Rutgers, faced backlash for simply exercising his First Amendment rights. This isn't just about one man; it's about a broader cultural shift where free speech is being eroded, particularly for those who have served our country. Colleges, once places of robust debate, now often censor voices that don't align with the prevailing narrative. This trend is deeply concerning for all Americans, especially those of us who value the sacrifices made by our veterans. It means we must be vigilant, ready to defend our freedoms, and prepared to push back against the tide of political correctness that threatens our way of life. As Christians, we believe in the power of truth and the importance of speaking it, even when it's uncomfortable. This issue is a call to action for all of us to stand with our veterans and ensure their voices are heard.
