The Nassau Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is a state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a national, non-profit, non-partisan organization that defends civil liberties in and out of the courtroom. The goal of the group is the advancement of civil liberties according to strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This handbook is designed to answer questions about constitutional rights and how these rights apply to the daily lives of citizens. Questions included in the handbook are those actually submitted to the NYCLU from the public and include: (1) why isn't pornography illegal? (2) why does the ACLU defend free speech for racists and totalitarians? (3) do student editors have freedom of the press? and (4) why should someone be denied a job because he or she is white? (NL)
