Contents:
Introduction -- 1. Overview -- 2. "Hate speech" laws violate fundamental free speech and equality principles -- 3. When "hate speech" is protected and when it is punishable -- 4. Because of their intractable vagueness and overbreadth, "hate speech" laws undermine free speech and equality -- 5. Is it possible to draft a "hate speech" law that is not unduly vague or overbroad? -- 6. Does constitutionally protected "hate speech" actually cause the feared harms? -- 7. "Hate speech" laws are at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive -- 8. Non-censorial methods effectively curb the potential harms of constitutionally protected "hate speech" -- 9. Conclusion: looking back - and forward.
Summary:
"Dispelling rampant confusion about "hate speech," this book explains how U.S. law appropriately distinguishes between punishable and protected discriminatory speech. It shows that more speech-restrictive laws consistently have suppressed vital expression about public issues, targeting minority viewpoints and speakers; and that "counterspeech" has more effectively promoted equality and societal harmony"--From publisher.
