09.28: Banned Books Week: Censorship and the First Amendment

2015-08-24 01:03:52| Powells Books Events Calendar

The First Amendment plainly states that government shall make absolutely "no law" restricting our freedom of speech. Equally clearly, from banned books onward, that has not been our history. What, then, are the reaches and limits of government control of our speech, especially with regard to race, sex, politics, or morality? Is control by "the marketplace of ideas" a better fit for a free society? How are free speech and privacy often diametrically opposed — and how do we balance them? In a talk entitled "May Government Control Our Speech and Expression, and If So, How and When?," First Amendment lawyer Duane Bosworth explains these tensions in today's society.
