Column: Explosive meeting in Evanston raises speech issue – Champaign News-Gazette

Jim Dey: "Commenters over Zoom made anti-Semitic statements, while a young man sporting sunglasses and a baseball cap bearing the logo of an organization characterized as a 'hate' group by the Anti-Defamation League spoke (anti-Semitic comments) in person...The confrontation set off a discussion about what public bodies can and ought to do under similar circumstances. It’s complicated because efforts by some to limit what others can say raise First Amendment free-speech issues."
