Skokie Case
Today's society is faced with a misunderstanding of what, in the proper and moral sense, constitutes free expression. Speeches or demonstrations contrary to the legal and moral directions that the simple use of freedom of expression imposes in order to protect the population from abusive attacks on social values often stand out. One of the famous cases in this regard took place in the village of Skokie, Illinois, USA. In the spring of 1977, a group of Nazi supporters grouped under the name of the National Socialist Party of America (hereafter NSPA) requested the acceptance of organizing a march in front of the town hall of Skokie, a village consisting of more than 40,000 Jews out of a total of approximately 70,000 inhabitants, many of whom are Holocaust survivors. The residents of Skokie immediately took a stand against the NSPA's demands, issuing a local ordinance requiring the Nazi supporter group to obtain a series of permits and prohibiting them from holding an incitement demonstration. to racial and religious hatred, and on the other, wearing military-style uniforms (with references to the Nazi uniform). They also sought a court ban on holding such a demonstration in Skokie. NSPA presented its position in court, citing their right to free speech under the First Amendment to the US Constitution which states that it "protects the freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that the demonstration requested by the NSPA is and will remain protected by the principles of free speech under the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
