Miami Mayor’s Adviser Proposes ‘Civility Courts’ Because Rudeness Is Bad
22nd December 2016
You might think that a lawyer and the editors of Miami’s leading newspaper would know something about the First Amendment, which protects rudeness along with crassness, indecency, racism, anti-Semitism, flag burning, tobacco billboards, violent video games, parodies involving incestuous sex, movies that make politicians look bad, and films in which women stomp on little furry animals. But neither Canton’s presentation nor the Herald’s account of it betrayed any knowledge that freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution.
You wonder how some people get through law school without learning anything about the Constitution. In my first year Con Law was a required course.
