Question at the Human Rights Commission Debate

Derek asks a question to the ladies of the Human Rights Commission who were debating a local professor at SMU and a writer for the Chronicle Herald Newspaper.

--------------------------------------

The Debate was about the role of human rights commissions in cases of controversial, offensive, or "hate" speech.

Some argue that commissions have gone too far, violating free speech and putting a chill on discussion of controversial topics.

Others argue that, when properly understood away from the spin of media attention, the commissions play an important role in preventing the spread of hatred.
