"In America, we must carefully censor our speech as rules and
laws stifle the most benign utterances. Bernstein illustrates the
very real threat to the First Amendment and our civil liberties
from increasingly absurd restrictions on free expression."
-Catherine Crier
Court TV, and author of The Case Against Lawyers
"A must-read for anyone-left, right, elsewhere-who seriously cares
about liberty in America."
-Eugene Volokh
Professor of law, UCLA, and author of The First Amendment:
Problems, Cases and Policy Arguments
""This book raises important and troubling issues about the erosion
of civil liberties and shows how the guarantees of these liberties
in the First Amendment have been repeatedly set aside when they
conflict with antidiscrimination laws. Those who treasure civil
liberties must read this book."
-Diane Ravitch, author of The Language Police
"An important warning that the constitutional freedoms Americans
hold most dear are threatened by the insidious influence of
authoritarian busybodies who want to regulate every aspect of
American life in furtherance of a radical, tyrannical egalitarian
agenda."
-Walter Williams, Former Chairman of the Department of Economics,
George Mason University, and syndicated columnist
""The tension between antidiscrimination laws and civil liberties,
such as free expression, privacy, and personal autonomy, is one of
the most important and least explored challenges to individual
freedom of our age. In this impassioned book, David Bernstein makes
the libertarian case of vigorously defending freedom against the
demands of legalized egalitarianism."
-Jeffrey Rosen, Legal affairs editor,The New Republic, and
author of The Unwanted Case
"It's fashionable in some circles to say that political correctness
is a myth, but it's not-and Bernstein offers proof, along with
explanations of the harm that it's doing."
-Instapundit, GlennReynolds.com
"This excellent book demonstrates that, in case after case,
'activists' for one cause or another have shown a willingness to
trample on the rights of others."
-National Review
"[T]he American judiciary has established a pattern of activism
that seeks to elevate antidiscrimination concerns above other
legal, political and social concerns. The result of such action,
assert[s] Bernstein, is a 'threat to civil liberties,' specifically
those liberties guaranteed by the First Amendment."
-Peter Leroe-Munoz, The Record, the Independent Newspaper
at Harvard Law School
"Bernstein shows that the use of antidiscrimination laws in ways
that interfere with someone else's civil liberties is not isolated
to a single part of the political spectrum. It is not only
Democrats who are guilty of the abuse, but Republicans as
well."
-Accuracy in Academia
"You Can't Say That! does an excellent and methodical job
of cataloging the insanity of anti-discrimination run amok.""
--The Washington Times
"If you're looking to start an argument, take this book to an ACLU
meeting."
-The New York Post
