Is It Harassment or Is It Free Speech?
We are all aware that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects free speech, but when does free speech cross the line and become harassment? When are groups espousing unpopular opinions constitutionally protected, and when is that protection outweighed by laws that prohibit harassment? Come and join us for what promises to be a lively discussion!!! Please register for this program at www.wcupa.edu/hr/training or by calling the Office of Social Equity at 610-436-2433.
