Oregon ACLU: Limiting Speech Wrong Response To Portland Knife Attacks
Friday’s horrific attack on a TriMet train has prompted a debate among Oregonians about the difference between free speech and hate speech.
Two men were killed and another seriously injured when they attempted to stop another man from berating two teenage girls with racist and anti-Muslim language.
Now Mayor Ted Wheeler is urging the federal government to stop two rallies planned for Portland in coming weeks. One is billed as a “Trump Free Speech” rally. The other is a “March Against Sharia,” and it is part of a nationwide anti-Muslim demonstration.
Wheeler says the events should be canceled.
Mat dos Santos, the legal director of the ACLU of Oregon, says Wheeler’s call to block the rallies is well-intentioned but incorrect.
