Every so often, civil libertarians put themselves in the uncomfortable position of antagonizing those who consider themselves friends of freedom by supporting its enemies, such as Communist or Ku Klux Klanners. In recent months, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has lost members and money as a result of its defense of the right of American Nazis to parade through Skokie, Illinois. The Nazis choice of this Chicago suburb was no accident, and the opposition it has aroused is understandable. Most of the residents of Skokie are Jews, several thousands of them survivors of Hitler's concentration camps. The Nazis selected Skokie because they knew that the ensuing protests would give publicity to their miniscule movement. Opponents of the march argue that for a group displaying swastikas to stage a parade through such a town constitutes a provocative act that goes beyond the right to freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. The Civil Liberties Union disagrees, holding to a principle that has guided it for many years. Its executive directer, Areyeh Neier, himself a refugee from a Nazi Germany, asks, "Did the industrial workers have a right to speak in company towns? Did Jehovah Witnesses have a right to pass out leaflets in Catholic neighborhoods?...Did Martin Luther King Jr. have a right to march in Selma, Alabama, or Cicero, Illinois? To all these questions, the A.C.L.U. answer is 'Yes.'" Perhaps the oldest lesson in the civil liberties primer is this: If the rights of those whom civil libertarians have most cause to despise are slighted, then everyone's rights are placed in jeopardy. Any confrontation in Skokie would be painful, as the disciples of murderers flaunt their hated symbols in the faces of people who survived the gas ovens (in Nazi death camps). But on this issue the A.C.L.U. has no choice. As Mr. Neier explains, if his organization is not faithful to the principle that free speech must be demanded for all, then it does not deserve the words "civil liberties" in its name... As long as the Nazis do nothing illegal, they are entitled to the protection of the law. The argument that they will provoke violence simply by appearing on the streets of Skokie only emphasizes the obligation of the police to keep the peace--and given an opportunity to the people of Skokie to demonstrate their respect for the law. Document-based Question: Does the ACLU defend the Nazis' right to march under the First Amendment? Why or why not? What is their reasoning? Use evidence from the source (document above) to support your claim. answer
