Free Speech?
Jay at Stop the ACLU reads this:
About 20 gay inmates were forced to remove their clothes in a busy hallway July 19 at the Men’s Central Jail while being called names and taunted with vulgar sexual language by some deputies, the ACLU said in a letter to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, citing inmates’ claims.
at The Java Report and says this in response:
Didn’t I just have someone in the comment section saying that ALL speech should be protected no matter how much you dislike it? Something about a slippery slope, I think.
He goes on to explain that he does not condone what was done, BUT blah blah…I just wanted to put in my two cents - calling gay inmates names should be protected by the First Amendment. Forcing them to remove their clothes in a public place (or any place, in fact) should not be protected.Any questions?
