In California, Political Correctness Trumps Free Expression

AB2444 by Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton, is headed to the Senate after passing on a 72-1 vote. ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Race And Freedom
America should be a free speech zone. Cliven Bundy should be happy for the public revelation of the private comments of fellow racist Donald Sterling; the latter has replaced the former as the person Americans most love to hate. These two bigots recently spewed racial hatred: Bundy suggesting that African-Americans might do ... MOREThe Ongoing Battle Of Political Correctness
by Garrett Wymer. There's a growing push to be politically correct, trying not to offend people unnecessarily; however, is it going too far? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to ... MOREVictoria Jackson: "Thought Police" Ban All Words
The fundamentals of tyranny. Seattle is considering banning the words “brown bag” and “citizen” because the words offend black people and illegals. Daniel Greenfield responds, “When Seattle one day gets around to banning all words, because language is inherently offensive to the illiterate, and everyone is reduced to communicating ... MORET Gamble: Political Correctness Crowd Working Overtime
Avoiding the heartbreak of being offended. The political correctness crowd has been working overtime lately, which I guess they can do considering they don’t really actually work anywhere but instead spend all their time trying to figure out a new way to be offended. They now claim great offense at the Washington Redskins ... MORESteve Chapman: Real Meaning Of The Redskin Debate
Should Congress care about the name of a sports team. As a general rule, the names of professional sports teams, and their connotations, are of little concern. No one cares that the Chicago White Sox don't wear white socks, or that Utah, where the NBA's Jazz are based, is the last place you'd think of when you think of jazz. ... MOREA Rare Stand For Free Speech Over Political Correctness
Unpopular speech is what needs protection. Councilwoman Elisa Chan defended anti-gay remarks made during a
secretly recorded staff meeting, saying at a news conference Tuesday
that she won't change her “values or beliefs for political gain or
survival.” The statements mark Chan's first public appearance since San Antonio Express-News ... MORE
How Political Correctness Is Destroying America
Michael Snyder provides 19 shocking examples. If you say the “wrong thing” in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court. Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this nation. In his novel 1984, George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted. ... MOREPeter Grier: Obama Rodeo Clown Gets Banned For Life
How dare he pass federal secrets! Missouri State Fair officials have banned for life the rodeo clown who
wore a President Obama mask while facing bulls at the event over the
weekend. The clown in question engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” and will never perform at the Show Me state venue again, the Missouri State Fair Commission said ... MOREAaron Goldstein: Why The Redskins Get Under Their Skin
The nerdy Left has gone on the warpath again. When I read that Slate, Mother Jones and the New Republic had announced with great fanfare that they would not identify Washington’s NFL team as the Redskins, I had two thoughts. My first thought was how often the writers at Slate, Mother Jones and the New Republic write stories ... MOREPhyllis Chester: The Crisis Of Individualism
A death knell for free thought? Suddenly, the price of speaking one’s mind has gotten very high. You may agree on every issue save one; dare to share your independent or dissident view—and you might shut down the conversation or lose all your friends. Since this kind of censorship and self-censorship has been going on for some ... MORE
Redskins Owner Vows To Never Change The Name
by Chris Lingebach. “We’ll never change the name. It’s simple. NEVER.” That’s what Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today Sports Thursday, with the added caveat, “you can use caps.” Snyder putting his foot down, so to speak, may be what it takes to
bring some finality to a debate that’s raged on all offseason over the
offensive nature of ... MOREThomas Sowell: Jensen And Flynn
Trivializing politically incorrect findings. Anyone who has followed the decades-long controversies over the role of genes in IQ scores will recognize the names of the two leading advocates of opposite conclusions on that subject— Professor Arthur R. Jensen of the University of California at Berkeley and Professor James R. Flynn, an American expatriate ... MOREJacob Sullum: Slandering Muhammad Is Not A Crime
Pandering to Muslims at the expense of free speech. Addressing the U.N. General Assembly last week, President Obama
tried to explain this strange attachment that Americans have to
freedom of speech. He was handicapped by his attraction to a moral
principle whose dangers the journalist Jonathan Rauch presciently
highlighted in his 1993 book ... MORECyberbullying Law Threatens Student Speech In N.C.
by John K. Ross. This summer, prompted
by complaints from teachers, North Carolina legislators passed a
law
criminalizing student-on-teacher cyberbullying. The measure creates
a Class 2 misdemeanor—on par with simple assault or resisting
arrest and punishable by up to 60 days in jail or a $1,000 fine—for
students who use computers with ... MORE
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Free Speech Is Not Negotiable
They are perhaps the most dangerous words ever written: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ... MOREVIDEO: Pat Condell - A Word To Rioting Muslims
