How much intolerance should be tolerated?

The rise of the alt-right raises questions about a free speech issue the U.S. Supreme Court last settled in 1969. With hate on the rise, is it time to revisit the limits of free speech? How much intolerance should be tolerated? Amos Guiora, a U law professor, argues it is time to revisit limits on free speech given the tone and tenor of speech now commonplace across the country. Guiora is the author of “Tolerating Intolerance: The Price of Protecting Extremism” and has a new book scheduled for publication in 2017, “Crime of Complicity,” that examines the role of bystanders in the Holocaust.
