Book excerpt: HATE dispels misunderstandings plaguing our perennial debates about "hate speech vs. free speech," showing that the First Amendment approach promotes free speech and democracy, equality, and societal harmony. We hear too many incorrect assertions that "hate speech" -- which has no generally accepted definition -- is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected from censorship. Rather, U.S. law allows government to punish hateful or discriminatory speech in specific contexts when it directly causes imminent serious harm. Yet, government may not punish such speech solely because its message is disfavored, disturbing, or vaguely feared to possibly contribute to some future harm. When U.S. officials formerly wielded such broad censorship power, they suppressed dissident speech, including equal rights advocacy. Likewise, current politicians have attacked Black Lives Matter protests as "hate speech." "Hate speech" censorship proponents stress the potential harms such speech might further: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been little analysis of whether censorship effectively counters the feared injuries. Citing evidence from many countries, this book shows that "hate speech" laws are at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive. Their inevitably vague terms invest enforcing officials with broad discretion, and predictably, regular targets are minority views and speakers. Therefore, prominent social justice advocates in the U.S. and beyond maintain that the best way to resist hate and promote equality is not censorship, but rather, vigorous "counterspeech" and activism.

Book excerpt: In 1985 the Parents' Music Resource Center, an organization concerned over a perceived increase of offensive content in Rock and Roll music, prompted a United States Senate hearing to discuss this issue as well as make suggestions for countering Rock music's negative influence. This thesis argues that the Rock music debate instigated by the PMRC served as a culminating event in the history of Rock and Roll. This examination of Rock and Roll reveals how controversial themes in the music have led to opposition from other segments of society. Rebelliousness, sexuality, and religion appear throughout Rock and Roll's history as a driving force of controversial cultural expression. The PMRC and the Senate hearing are important because they continued this trend and created a forum where all those themes could be discussed together. It was an ultimate debate of free expression versus public decency. The most essential source used was the hearing transcript. It outlined the debate and proposed solutions from both sides. Industry magazines such as Rolling Stone and Billboard also covered the progress of the PMRC and the public debate in great detail. Listening to the music under debate was also worthwhile for understanding the references and accusations made against specific Rock and Roll artists. Initially, the conclusions show that free speech won. Legislation censoring Rock music was never passed. The PMRC, however, greatly contributed to parental awareness concerning the type of music being released. Record companies made some voluntary concessions, including a warning label, and both artists and record companies became more aware that much of their success depended on their marketability to young people and their parents. The hearing was thus a pivotal point in which the creativity of the music was saved, while at the same time potentially indecent music was kept in check through the free flow of information and market forces. More important, however, is the conclusion that the hearing was a culminating event in that for the first time it brought to the public's attention all those trends that had been prevalent throughout the history of Rock and Roll.
