[Peace-discuss] Summary of UIUC/Salaita controversy

[E. W. Johnson via Peace-discuss]

   The reference to Cohen vs. California is interesting.

1.  wikipaedia sez: regarding that expression of speech
"First, states (California) cannot censor their citizens in order to 
make a “civil” society. Second, knowing where to draw the line between 
harmless heightened emotion and vulgarity can be difficult. Third, 
people bring passion to politics and vulgarity is simply a side effect 
of a free exchange of ideas—no matter how radical they may be."

2.  here is a recent review of that case by a clerk who participated in 
the writing of harlan's majority opinion.

It's an interesting read.
