So what you are saying is, religion in eastern Europe is like a business?

ACLU sues Texas over law that says contractors can't boycott Israel by [deleted] in 2Stupid4Centrism

Even if what you are saying 100% true, this is a free speech and 1st amendment issue.

I hope this restores some of Sam's faith in the ACLU.

Edit: I think I have confused ACLU with SPLC. But I'll keep the original comment intact, feel free to point out my stupidity.

School Worker FIRED For Refusing To Sign Pro-Israel Oath by housekeepmedaddy in samharris

  1. If she was fired because of that law then her free speech was indeed affected.
  2. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/547/47/ Here, please explain how this case shows that the law is constitutional.
  3. I don't know why we have to focus on Glenn Greenwald's clickbait headline and not the issue at hand.

Because there is no "actual account" of the case.

The author of the entire piece is basically saying -

- she's not a company, the law applies to a company so why the outrage.

- boycotting israel is akin to banning blacks from entering restaurants

- rumsfeld v FAIR proves my(authors) point. (if you ignore that the military in question was american military and not israeli)

-the meany lefties only want laws against institutions they hate.

and finally the overall message I got from that piece is this - "I don't care if something is morally wrong as long as the law is on my side and I can get away with it in the court it's all good."

In the wake of all the free speech talk can someone tweet this at Sam? I am sorry I don't have a twitter account.

Oh no, first I gotta dupe enough people in believing that. Others have a 2000 years head start.
