Raising social involvement, self awareness and self improvement topics, because our communities are the sum of our personal beliefs, behaviors, action or inaction. Only "we" can improve our family, work place, school, city, country, etc.
For me, censorship means my not paying people a hundred million dollars to offend me. Many people are willing to perform that particular service for free.
In general, I am very uncomfortable with the fact that there are so many issues we can't discuss openly and candidly. I didn't like it when Whoopi got suspended for expressing the most banal of cliches. And obviously I am against the Republican policy of not teaching anything in schools that might possibly make kids sad. But I just don't have any solutions for any of those things.
Judaism is and isn't a race. It is and isn't a religion. Both and neither. Simon Schama in his wonderful series on the history of the Jews, says that Jews are people with a story. I like that a lot, but then he is a historian and he would say that.

Of course the Nazis apparently saw it very differently...
