The first : how to think about hate speech, campus speech, religious speech, fake news, post-truth, and Donald Trump Cover Image Book

The first : how to think about hate speech, campus speech, religious speech, fake news, post-truth, and Donald Trump / Stanley Fish.

Fish, Stanley Eugene, (author.).

Summary:

How does the First Amendment really work? Is it a principle or a value? What is hate speech and should it always be banned? Are we free to declare our religious beliefs in the public square? What role, if any, should companies like Facebook play in policing the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions? With clarity and power, Stanley Fish, "America's most famous professor" (BookPage), explores these complex questions in The First. From the rise of fake news, to the role of tech companies in monitoring content (including the President's tweets), to Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest, First Amendment controversies continue to dominate the news cycle. Across America, college campus administrators are being forced to balance free speech against demands for safe spaces and trigger warnings.
