L. & Pol'y 71 (). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/jlp/vol28/iss1/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. THE LONG ROAD BACK TO SKOKIE: RETURNING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO MASK WEARERS Rob Kahn* Professor of Law St. Thomas University When the Seventh Circuit upheld the First Amendment right of Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois in 1978, the protection of mask wearers was not far behind. Since then, doctrinal paths have diverged. While the Supreme Court continues to protect hate speech, mask wearing has been increasingly placed outside First Amendment protection. This Article seeks to get to the bottom of this doctrinal divergence by addressing the symbolic purposes of mask bans—rooted in repudiating the Ku Klux Klan—as well as the doctrinal steps taken over the past forty years to restrict the First Amendment claims of mask wearers. It also highlights the dangers posed by the current, state-friendly mask law doctrine in an age of technological growth, mass surveillance, and a move to anoint Antifa as the new Ku Klux Klan.

    © Copyright 2020 Yunkang Yang The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: W. Lance Bennett, Chair Matthew J. Powers Kirsten A. Foot Adrienne Russell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication University of Washington Abstract The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: W. Lance Bennett Department of Communication Democracy in America is threatened by an increased level of false information circulating through online media networks. Previous research has found that radical right media such as Fox News and Breitbart are the principal incubators and distributors of online disinformation. In this dissertation, I draw attention to their political mobilizing logic and propose a new theoretical framework to analyze major radical right media in the U.S. Contrasted with the old partisan media literature that regarded radical right media as partisan news organizations, I argue that media outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart are better understood as hybrid network organizations. This means that many radical right media can function as partisan journalism producers, disinformation distributors, and in many cases political organizations at the same time. They not only provide partisan news reporting but also engage in a variety of political activities such as spreading disinformation, conducting opposition research, contacting voters, and campaigning and fundraising for politicians. In addition, many radical right media are also capable of forming emerging political organization networks that can mobilize resources, coordinate actions, and pursue tangible political goals at strategic moments in response to the changing political environment.

  • The Oregonian Portland Mayor and Chief Warn Protest Instigators
    The Oregonian Portland mayor and chief warn protest instigators: Expect stern police response By Gordon Friedman August 6, 2019 Demonstrators wishing to commit acts of violence or vandalism during a gathering planned for Aug. 17 in Portland should expect to be met with the full force of the law, Mayor Ted Wheeler and Police Chief Danielle Outlaw warned on Monday. In an interview at City Hall with The Oregonian/OregonLive, the pair, who collectively lead Portland’s police force, voiced their toughest stance yet against people using the cloak of free speech as a pretext to brawl on city streets. Wheeler stated repeatedly — 18 times in all — that he rejects the violence and subversion of free speech perpetrated by demonstrators, regardless of their politics. He promised a zero-tolerance approach, saying anyone who breaks the law during the demonstration next week should expect swift action by the police and raised the prospect of “mass arrests.” He indicated an extra-large presence of law enforcement officers, from outside agencies as well as the Portland Police Bureau, will be on hand to ensure that happens. And the mayor issued a stern repudiation of would-be instigators: “We don’t want you,” he said. He added, “But if you do come, we will be ready for you.” That echoes a message delivered by Outlaw, who said, “Don’t come. We don’t want you here. I don’t care what side you’re on.’’ Right-wing activists from around the country have indicated they plan to hold an “End Domestic Terrorism” gathering on Aug.

  • Violence and Restraint Within Antifa: a View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 14, Issue 6 Violence and Restraint within Antifa: A View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill Abstract In recent months recurrent calls have been made by conservative right-wing politicians to designate Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” in the United States. Fixated on the spectacle of its Black Bloc tactics they have equated Antifa, what is essentially an ad-hoc, non-hierarchical, geographically dispersed social movement comprised of local autonomous activist groups, with organized violent extremists. And yet, the evidence for such an equation has been mostly limited to a handful of instances that usually bare the hallmarks of political exaggeration or are alternatively attributable to individuals loosely associated with the Antifa movement. Why is this so? How do militant anti-fascists in the US understand violence and exercise restraint in their use of it? This article seeks an answer to these questions based on interviews with activists from Portland’s Rose City Antifa, one of the United States’ most well-known Antifa groups, and an analysis of a collection of the group’s Tweets. It reveals that Antifa exercises considerable restraint, internally and externally, with regards to both the literal and rhetorical use of violence within its street and digital activism. In turn it calls upon others to exercise reciprocal levels of restraint by ceasing their labelling of Antifa as a “domestic terrorist” organization. Keywords: Antifa, anti-fascism, restraint, violence, terrorism, street activism, digital activism I would say if we describe violence as being like, you know, a Richard Spencer face punch, I would say based on simply being a fascist, all fascists deserve, at a minimum, a Richard Spencer face punch.[1] I don’t think that people necessarily will go off the handle.

  • Schede Tecniche E Per L'appropriazione Personale
    SCHEDE TECNICHE E PER L’APPROPRIAZIONE PERSONALE DEI FILM E DELLE SERIE TV PROPOSTE PER LA SETTIMANA DELL’EDUCAZIONE 2021 La recente beatificazione di Carlo Acutis può divenire occasione non solo per far conoscere la sua storia, ma anche per trarre dalla sua biografia elementi significativi per un percorso di formazione di catechisti, educatori e genitori. A ciascuna delle quattro tematiche individuate legate alla vita di Carlo è proposta la visione di una pellicola o di una serie televisiva differente per le diverse fasce di riferimento, di modo che si possa fare un percorso sia orizzontale (per una stessa fascia più film) che verticale (per uno stesso tema un film diverso per ogni fascia). Sono proposti anche film per bambini, ragazzi, preadolescenti, adolescenti e giovani, che i rispettivi catechisti ed educatori possono usare sia per la propria formazione che, eventualmente, per una proposta di visione ai rispettivi gruppi anche oltre la “Settimana dell’Educazione”. Di ciascun film viene di seguito data indicazione della reperibilità in DVD, in streaming o a noleggio/acquisto su piattaforma digitale. 1. ORIGINALITÀ: «Tutti nascono come originali, ma molti muoiono come fotocopie». Carlo è stato un ragazzo che ha trascorso una vita ordinaria ma vissuta in modo straordinario, ponendo la propria autenticità e singolare identità a servizio di se stesso, degli altri, di Dio. Compito di ogni educatore è quello di stimolare i ragazzi a scoprire la propria identità, aiutandoli a leggere i segni di ciò che li rende originali e a celebrare la propria insostituibile diversità, che può diventare una ricchezza per tutti. 2. PASSIONE e PASSIONI: «Muoio felice perché non ho mai sprecato un minuto della mia vita in cose che non piacciono a Dio».
