a jew's free speech lawsuit may allow student's nazi joke

[yankeedoodle]

So, you see, a girl in Pennsylvania - her father's name is Levy, so she's probably a jew - spoke obscenely about her school while not actually in school, and was punished, and the lawsuit - B.L. v. Mahoney - went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled that she could say "fuck school" and not be punished.

So, another student in Colorado made a Nazi joke while not in school and the ADL jews went crazy and got him kicked out of school, so he is suing for having his free speech rights violated, using as a precedent the Supreme Court decision that allowed the probably-jewish girl to say "fuck school."

First Amendment Lawsuit: Student Expelled By Anti-Defamation League Over Jewish Joke Fights For His Free Speech

A former Colorado high school student is waging an ongoing battle with the US government and organized Jewry in court.

In what is the first real test of the Supreme Court's spring ruling in B.L. v. Mahanoy, which declared that public school students have First Amendment rights when they are off campus, an individual identified as C.G. is appealing the dismissal of his lawsuit challenging his expulsion from Cherry Creek High School over a joke he made about Jewish people.

According to the facts in the case, C.G. went to a thrift store on an evening in 2019. While trying on WWII military caps, he wrote to Snapchat "Me and the boys bout to exterminate the Jews." The post was made off school property.

A Jewish student saw the post and had their parents report it to the police, the Israeli lobbyists at the Anti-Defamation League, Rabbi Richard Rheins, and school district officials. The post, even after being deleted, was circulated widely throughout the Jewish community, which whipped them up into a hysteria and prompted a witch hunt.

This led to C.G. being investigated by the police for the "hate speech," but they concluded that no law was broken.

School administrators initially only suspended C.G. for a few days, but the ADL then got involved and got to decide on how to punish the student following the incident. Despite C.G. being highly apologetic and the ADL's Scott Levin admitting that the post was just a joke, the Jewish District Director had C.G. expelled from the school anyway.

C.G.'s First Amendment reasoning in the case is cut and dry, but Colorado District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson refused to even allow C.G.'s plight to be heard in court and promptly dismissed his case.

Now, with a Supreme Court ruling in tow C.G. will be appealing his case, which under current circumstances may cause federal judges who oppose free speech difficulty in refusing to at least grant him a hearing.

Legal experts believe that his case is bulletproof, though a court could still refuse to grand his appeal and possibly force a legal battle back to the Supreme Court to hear whether the First Amendment protects criticism, satire, or jokes about Jews. In 2021 America, the law is very clear on paper, but increasingly not respected in day to day life.

Jews defending Jews in order to win a case and blame the goyim? Reminds me of Skokie, IL.

https://www.jta.org/2013/06/20/culture/nazis-marching-through-skokie

In 1977, the leader of the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Frank Collin, announced a march through the Chicago suburb of Skokie, Ill. While a neo-Nazi march would be controversial under any circumstances, the fact that one out of six people in Skokie were Holocaust survivors made it even more provocative. Chicago authorities took steps to prevent it, including requiring the NSPA to post $350,000 worth of liability insurance in case any damage occurred. Authorities also banned the display of Nazi images, explaining that the violence that might have been incited overrode free speech protections.

The dispute drew national attention. After the march was initially cancelled, the ACLU took up the case at the urging of Jewish lawyer Joseph Burton, who defended the NSPA's right to freedom of speech and assembly. Victor Rosenblum, a professor of law at Northwestern University and past chairman of the Anti-Defamation League's Chicago branch, made the counter-argument: "The Nazis' march in paraphernalia is a reminder of the most destructive movement in history. They stand for the destruction and wiping out of human beings. This is not constitutionally protected."

An initial court ruling said the NSPA could march in uniform but not display the swastika, finding that the symbol constitutes "fighting words" unprotected by the Constitution. The court also upheld the liability insurance requirement, despite the fact that it effectively would have made the rally unfeasible. The case was challenged in the Supreme Court in 1977, which declined to overturn the lower court ruling but instructed the state of Illinois to "provide strict procedural safeguards" if it moved to limit free speech.

In January 1978, the Illinois Supreme Court decided that the NSPA march was constitutionally protected, including the right to wear swastikas, ruling that "the display of the swastika, as offensive to the principles of a free nation as the memories it recalls may be, is symbolic political speech intended to convey to the public the beliefs of those who display it." In February, a federal court went even further, ruling that the ordinances intended to prevent the march were unconstitutional.

The NSPA march was held on June 25, 1978, though the march never materialized. About 20 or so  Nazis congregated for only ten minutes, and throngs of Jewish and other groups drowning out their voices. Jewish organizations planned counter marches not only in Skokie, but in New York City and other places.

Meir Kahane also held a rally in 1977, after the initial cancellation but prior to the court rulings permitting it to go ahead. Kahane urged a crowd estimated at 400 to "kill Nazis now" and to arm themselves, exhorting them: "Every Jew a .22."

President Carter also issued a statement: "I must respect the decision of the Supreme Court allowing this group (the Nazis) to express their views, even when those views are despicable and ugly as they are in this case. But if such views must be expressed, I am pleased they will not go unanswered. That is why I want to voice my complete solidarity with those citizens of Skokie and Chicago who will gather Sunday in a peaceful demonstration of their abhorrence of Nazism."
