Omaha World-Herald Public Pulse: Free Speech has Limitations
In a May 26 letter responding to a May 16 editorial, "Dangers of hate," I stated that "free speech does not extend to racist groups," but I misspoke. Free speech can and should extend to such groups. However, extremist or racist speech should not be protected when it incites imminent lawless action. The Anti-Defamation League has a long history of defending free speech. We stand by our deep commitment to this fundamental principle of democracy. Alan Potash, Omaha
