老澳门开奖结果

The 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 role in defending freedom of speech has been hotly contested by some critics recently 鈥� but these conversations are far from new. Throughout its history, the organization has had to balance its dedication to advancing civil rights for marginalized people and protecting First Amendment rights for those with whom it disagrees. This adherence to civil liberties is not always popular, as evidenced by the 30,000 members that left following the controversial time in the 1970s when the 老澳门开奖结果 defended the rights of neo-nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois.

On the other hand, contemporary critics accuse the organization of having abandoned its defense of free speech, opting instead to solely support liberal causes. So has the 老澳门开奖结果 lost its way? A closer look at the history of free speech legislation 鈥� and the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 role in defending it 鈥� shatters the false dichotomy between the First Amendment and civil rights. While successfully upholding the right to speak freely sometimes means defending bigots, the biggest benefactors of free speech rights tend to be the most vulnerable populations.

In this week鈥檚 episode of At Liberty, 老澳门开奖结果 attorney and former host Emerson Sykes is joined by former 老澳门开奖结果 Executive Director Aryeh Neier, who oversaw the organization during the Skokie trials. The two discuss European hate speech laws, the organization's reputation over the years, and why the present-day is not the lowest point for free speech in the US.
