The 1st Amendment that gives Americans Free Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of the Press & the right for Peaceful Assembly has it's limitations, including limitations on speech that is considered Slanderous.
Journalism Majors are required to study Libel Law, which is why I keep harping on Misogynist Attack Ads on TV towards women.
Remedies for Slander, defined as harm to one's reputation, include suing for monetary damages.
These attack ads, generally focusing on MILK are holding an entire class of people up to public scorn, implying that drinking MILK is responsible for giving people GAS.
Gas makes people happy, doesn't it?
THIS IS HATE SPEECH.
This is WHY we need Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
