Regulating Hate Speech

Yale Law School
Apr 1 2008 - 8:00pm

What is the best way to regulate hate speech? Do current regulations for hate speech make sense? Does hate speech harm other forms of speech, or is it just as protectable as those other forms?

These questions and more will be up for discussion in a lively debate between:

Rodney Smolla
Dean and Professor of Law, Washington & Lee University School of Law,
author of Free Speech in an Open Society

and

Alexander Tsesis
Assistant Professor at Loyola University School of Law,
author of Destructive Messages: How Hate Speech
Paves the Way for Harmful Social Movements

Moderated by Robert Post, Professor of Law at Yale Law School.
