For weeks in the spring of 2006, television and newspapers featured spectacular images of masses of humanity lined up for miles in marches across the United States.

TIPTOEING THROUGH THE JUNKYARD: THREE APPROACHES TO THE MORAL DILEMMA OF RACIST HATE SPEECH |

Professor Rick Garnett uses the analogy of a yard to describe the Supreme Court's free speech jurisprudence.

If we extend the analogy, we could say that racist hate speech is not a lawn, but a junkyard--full of sharp objects, health... |
