The New
Thought Police: Inside the Left's Assault
on Free Speech and Free
Minds
Tammy Bruce, the self-described lesbian
feminist activist, argues in this
provocative book that our fundamental
freedoms of expression are under withering
assault from powerful special interest
groups on the Left. According to Ms.
Bruce, the current attempts to silence Dr.
Laura are only the latest in a long line
of attacks on people whose opinions do not
conform with the agendas championed by
national feminist, racial, and gay
organizations.
From rigid speech codes on college
campuses to the knee-jerk use of such
labels as "racist," "homophobic," and
"hateful" in an attempt to socially
ostracize people with opposing viewpoints,
speaking one's mind today has become
increasingly dangerous.
