Hate Crimes, Hate Symbols, Electronic Hate


As one of American's leading organizations fighting anti-Semitism, racism and anti-government extremism, ADL is keenly aware of the danger posed by bigotry and hatred in communities across the country. As a staunch supporter of the First Amendment, ADL also understands that the Constitution protects the free speech rights of all Americans - even those whose opinions we deplore.

ADL believes that the best response to the words of bigots and extremists is more speech: speech that reflects the ideals of American democracy and tolerance.
