| Video Discription | Ira Glasser, former executive director of the ACLU, says the organization's embrace of identity politics over free speech is troubling for all groups expressing their First Amendment rights. ------------------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/ReasonTV?sub_confirmation=1 Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reason.Magazine/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/reason Reason is the leading source of news, politics, and culture from a libertarian perspective.

"There is no social justice movement in America that has ever not needed the First Amendment to initiate its movement for justice, to sustain its movement to justice, to help its movement survive." Glasser is the subject of the new documentary Mighty Ira, which chronicles his efforts to secure the speech rights of Nazis, undermine government attempts to regulate internet content, combat hate speech laws, and abolish campus speech codes. It is a portrait of a First Amendment hero who managed to have friends across ideological divides while remaining civil, engaged, and effective. The 82-year-old Glasser is troubled by his former group's seeming embrace of identity politics over free speech, and he worries that younger social justice activists view the First Amendment as an adversary rather than an ally. "John Lewis said that without free speech and the right to dissent, the civil rights movement would have been a bird without wings," Glasser says. "That's historically and politically true without exception." Written by Nick Gillespie. Produced and edited by Paul Detrick.
