17 JUN 2024 · Many of us have watched college campuses around the country erupt in protests, with tent camps being set up on greenspaces calling for universities to disclose and divest from companies that do business in Israel. But when do the chants, signs and graffiti cross the line from first-amendment-protected free speech to something more nefarious? This week, we talk about this with Professor Jane Kirtley, a lawyer, and the director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Minnesota.
Resources we discussed:Counterman v. Colorado: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2022/22-138
Books:
Nadine Strossen: Hate: Why We Should Resist it with Free Speech, Not Censorship
Anthony Lewis: Freedom for the Thought That We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment
Nat Hentoff: Free Speech for Me - But Not for Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other
Stanley Fish: The First: How to Think About Hate Speech, Campus Speech, Religious Speech, Fake News, Post-Truth, and Donald Trump

20 APR 2023 · This week: The chaos of Elon Musk’s Twitter has chased users and news organizations away, while a new wave of Twitter clones try to recreate the sense of community it has. So what does this mean for the Jews, and why should anyone care? I talk about that with Serge, the founder of Babka Social, a new Jewish social media platform.

7 APR 2023 · This week: Jewish women rarely get a fair shake in pop culture, often showing up as flat stereotypes like the “Jewish American Princess” trope. But over the past decade, especially on TV, that’s been changing. So I talk with Dr. Samantha Pickette, author of “Peak TV’s Unapologetic Jewish Woman,” all about that.
