Title VII as the regulation of the secondary effects of speech

Article Abstract:

Regulations of speech that creates a hostile work environment are constitutional on the basis of the speech's secondary effects and because Title VII is arguably not viewpoint-based. Furthermore, some applicable case law suggests the motive of the government in creating such regulations often counts more than the actual effect of such regulation, in determining constitutionality. Title VII is a reasonable regulation of speech and would be upheld as such by the Supreme Court.

Farm workers, boycotts, and free speech

Article Abstract:

The California courts have extended a regrettable American tradition of applying injunctions on free labor speech with their decisions limiting supermarket picketing and the showing of a promotional United Farm Workers (UFW) film, 'The Wrath of Grapes.' These actions, which go against constitutional norms of free speech, have hindered the UFW's boycott against California table grapes.
