You Can’t Say That! "Politically Correct" Free Speech

Who determines when one person’s right to expression must give way to another’s sense of propriety? In this program, ABC News correspondent John Stossel looks at growing constraints on free speech made in the interest of protecting the public from offense. Using such controversial examples as the worker who was fired for telling a joke he heard on a popular prime-time TV show, Mr. Stossel considers the paranoia throughout the academic, political, and business sectors that has led to the creation of virtual "speech police" armed with special forms of censorship and "sensitivity training." A topic of perennial debate, freedom of speech receives a timely evaluation in this report. (43 minutes)
