The argument at Wesleyan is not about free speech per se but “who gets to have access to free speech,” he said, apparently referring to activists’ complaints that they can’t share their perspective if they aren’t paid (the Argus only has two paid staff positions).

Freedom of the press “is not free and equal,” because society needs equality before free speech means anything, Martinez said.
