Some readers have noticed the interruption in new postings on this blog and social media. Due to the passing of his mother, Angela Piazza Turley, 97, in Chicago, Professor Turley has been spending this time with his family. He expects to resume writing sometime this week.
Professor Turley dedicated his book, The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage, to his mother who was a social worker and former president of Jane Addams Hull House in Chicago. In his dedication, he wrote “to my mother, Angela Piazza Turley, who taught me that life is an unyielding passionate pursuit of justice.”
