A Community Forum on Free Speech and Hate Speech

How can our community encourage open expression of controversial ideas but still discourage hate speech?   Recent local controversies have brought this question home – including the airing of anti-semitic programming on UPTV,  and repeated issues around UI Campus climate (such as racially-themed Greek parties).  Bring your questions and concerns to this community forum on the First Amendment.

Sponsored by the Champaign County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
