It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Law Review by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. Google, Charlottesville, and the Need to Protect Private Employees’ Political Speech INTRODUCTION Consider that you are the owner of a popular hot dog eatery in Berkeley, California. One day in early August, after a long day of sausage sales, you return home and turn on the news, only to see the face of one of your employees participating in a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.1 The next day, a popular Twitter account releases a photo of your employee, mentioning your restaurant, and calling on you to terminate the employee. You find yourself in a tough position. On one hand, you are in charge of a private entity (the hot dog restaurant), with a reputation and legitimate business interests that could suffer due to your continued employment of a known neo-Nazi. On the other hand, you are a steadfast supporter of free speech, and have serious doubts about allowing a Twitter account to dictate your employee’s right to assert his or her sociopolitical views off the clock, while maintaining a job.

Mr. Goodman was selected in recognition of his outstanding professional accomplishments and years of tireless dedication in service to the Republican Party. He will be honored at a reception in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, November 13. RNLA President David Warrington said of this year’s honoree: “Lee is a great lawyer dedicated to defending the First Amendment and the rights of all Americans to participate fully and freely in the democratic process of our Republic. Lee led the fight to defend those rights during his tenure as a commissioner and chairman on the Federal Election Commission. He continues to lead this fight as a lawyer in private practice through the clients and cases he takes, writing thought-provoking commentary, and as a public spokesman for the First Amendment. Lee is also a mentor freely giving his time, advice, and encouragement to numerous lawyers. Many lawyers serving at very high levels in this administration were mentored by Lee and continue to seek his advice and guidance. I am proud to call Lee a colleague and even more proud to call him my friend. I can think of no one who is more deserving of the honor of being the Republican National Lawyers Association’s Lawyer of the Year.” RNLA Chair Manny Iglesias agreed: “For decades, Lee Goodman has served as one of the nation’s leading champions of liberty and justice.

This document is only reflective of the first two classes and course requirements in terms of work load and grading policy and other class policies. ! Spring 2020 gautami shah (she/her/hers) Topic Title: Bollywood: Shaker, Maker or Breaker of Society? FLAG: This course carries the Global Cultures Flag. Course Description: This course explores the dual role of Bollywood in society, viz., that as an agent of social change on the one hand, and as a mirror of social reality on the other. By examining the representations of South Asian society in Bollywood over the years, as well as the influence of Bollywood cinema on society at various points in South Asian history, this course begs us to critically reevaluate the role of cinema and popular culture as mere entertainment in society. Topics explored will include the relationship between Hindi cinema and the concept of “nation”; notions and representations of “self” and “other”Hindi cinema and representations, roles and perceptions of gender; Hindi cinema and the diaspora; notions of tradition and modernity; centers and margins of society; the role of caste, religion and class in shaping HIndi cinema and vice-versa. Students who have had no prior experience with South Asian literature and cinema will get an exposure to a new world-view. Students who have already been exposed to South Asian literature and cinema will find and articulate new ways of approaching and interpreting the material.
