Spree: NEW YORK — The city violated the First Amendment rights of two firefighters and a police officer when it fired them for riding on a parade float in blackface in 1998, a judge ruled Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge John E. Sprizzo said the government "may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because a segment of society finds it offensive."


I totally did not hear about this when it happened but the decision seems solid. I gotta ask though, what were these guys thinking???
