A user's guide to understanding contemporary free speech issues in
the United States Americans today are confronted by a barrage of
questions relating to their free speech freedoms. What are libel
laws, and do they need to be changed to stop the press from lying?
Does Colin Kaepernick have the right to take a knee? Can Saturday
Night Live be punished for parody? While citizens are grappling
with these questions, they generally have nowhere to turn to learn
about the extent of their First Amendment rights. The Fight for
Free Speech answers this call with an accessible, engaging user's
guide to free speech. Media lawyer Ian Rosenberg distills the
spectrum of free speech law down to ten critical issues. Each
chapter in this book focuses on a contemporary free speech
question-from student walkouts for gun safety to Samantha Bee's
expletives, from Nazis marching in Charlottesville to the muting of
adult film star Stormy Daniels- and then identifies, unpacks, and
explains the key Supreme Court case that provides the answers.
Together these fascinating stories create a practical framework for
understanding where our free speech protections originated and how
they can develop in the future. As people on all sides of the
political spectrum are demanding their right to speak and be heard,
The Fight for Free Speech is a handbook for combating
authoritarianism, protecting our democracy, and bringing an
understanding of free speech law to all.
