You Can't Say That!: The Growing Threat to Civil Liberties from Antidiscrimination LawsCato Institute, 2003 - 197 Seiten "To many civil libertarians, the above paragraph reads like a thumbnail description of the Christian right. But in this revealing book, David Bernstein points out that it also describes left-wing egalitarian activists, many of whom are associated with the civil rights establishment. Their goal of elevating antidiscrimination concerns above all others poses an especially acute threat to civil liberties. The First Amendment, explicitly prohibits the government from interfering with freedom of expression, which includes free exercise of religion freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Antidiscrimination laws put all of those freedoms at risk."--BOOK JACKET. |
