Free expression: How much does it cost? What is it worth? (Hour 1)


Listen Later

Jim Santelle joins us to talk through some legal news.

The University of Wisconsin- La Crosse fired Joe Gow this week for his extracurricular activities. Again. Joe and his wife, on their own time, recorded and posted sex acts to several pornographic websites. The board of regents ousted Joe from his position as Chancellor late last year. Now, they've fired him from his tenured teaching position as well. Joe announced that he will sue the school under ground that his First Amendment rights were violated.

One person whose actions definitely do not fall under the canopy of First Amendment protections? Wausau Mayor Doug Diny. He claims that he removed a ballot box from outside City Hall due to a "philosophical difference" concerning voting. However, the right and responsibility to place drop boxes lies with the city CLERK, not the mayor.
