Dear Mr. Murdoch,
I write once again to express deep alarm about the dangerous misinformation that FOX News continues to allow Tucker Carlson to express on your network and its platforms, this time in the form of a “documentary” about the insurrection on January 6.
In a trailer for “Patriot Purge,” which apparently is…

Dear Mr. Murdoch,
I received your response of April 11, 2021, and I thank you for your words of respect for ADL. Although I appreciate the sentiment that you and your father continue to support ADL’s mission, supporting Mr. Carlson’s embrace of the “great replacement theory” stands in direct…

Dear Ms. Scott:
Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…
Is your school experiencing a bias or hate incident?
Whether it be a racist “joke,” slur, stereotype or some other form of implicit or explicit bias, school community members must be committed to addressing bias-related incidents in schools.
Educators and school administrators play vital roles in creating an environment where all students can learn and thrive. Cultivating an equitable and inclusive school community requires ensuring that historically marginalized students…

Companies have responded in waves. Unilever, Verizon, Patagonia, Ben and Jerry’s, North Face, Eileen Fisher, Viber and the list goes on and…

Atlanta Journal-Constitution
To the Editor:
Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled conspiracy theories about the Anti-Defamation League are so divorced from reality that it’s hard to fathom how her most recent column found its way into The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“ADL, antifa and Koch equal a toxic anti-Trump league,” Oct. 3). In dismissing this storied, 106-year old civil rights organization — one with deep roots in Atlanta — as…

The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "If We Silence Hate Speech, Will We Silence Resistance?" (Aug. 9) To the Editor:
The first flaw in Erik Nielson’s argument is his failure to define hate speech, which clearly means different things to different people. Speech that harasses, threatens or incites violence - whether it emanates from the left or the right – contributes nothing to the marketplace of ideas, and…
The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "Free Speech Experts Argue Against Infowars Founder" (Aug. 8) To the Editor:
The debate over whether Alex Jones should have been removed from Facebook, Apple and other platforms seems almost quaint and academic when one looks closely at his long history of spreading outright lies and appeals to bigotry.
After the violent alt-right protest in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago, Mr. Jones announced that he…

To the Editor:
Re "The ADL Smears Mike Pompeo" (April 19, 2018):
There’s plenty to untangle and criticize in Sohrab Ahmari’s hit piece, which outrageously and falsely claims that Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, is using his position as head of a storied civil rights…
Over the past couple of years, we have seen an alarming increase in incidents of violent bias, including hate crimes, harassment, identity-based bullying, vandalism and more. At the same time, we have also seen ordinary citizens take action to support and protect targets and victims—from individual bystanders acting as allies to groups of people fighting for fairness and justice in their communities.
