| Sumario: | The writers consider the extent of protection afforded under the first amendment to law enforcement employees for ethnic slurs, racial epithets, demeaning sexist insults, and other bigoted speech and nonverbal conduct. They outline the analytical framework for determining first amendment protection for public employees, review court decisions concerning law enforcement employees who claim first amendment protection for speech or expressive conduct that can fairly be characterized as bigoted, and consider the ethical duty to fight bigotry in law enforcement agencies. |
