Discuss the below:
Over the last several days in class we've seen each of the following:
1. Differing positions on the appropriate role of the university (Yale) in asserting a measure of authority over students' Halloween costume choices.
2. Recent national conversation in the wake of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia over the proper place of openly white supremacist and/or paa-igazj expressions within American society.
3. The historical foundation of Freedom of Speech as a necessity for the democratic process to function.
4. The conditional recognition of Freedom of Speech throughout American history depending on topic, context, and prevailing attitudes of the time.
Now I want you to use information from all of these topics as EVIDENCE to support a brief argumentative essay responding to the following question:
Q: Should American society consider expressions of white supremacy and/or neo-nazism as protected forms of speech under the 1st Amendment?
