We need a little vulgarity

Article Abstract:

Restricting freedom of speech by suing employers for permitting allegedly hostile work environments when these amount to little more than vulgar remarks or those in poor taste can be carried too far. Other examples are suing employers for allowing the display of suggestive art works, of photos of family members wearing swimming attire, allowing ethnic jokes to be told and allowing the voicing of politically incorrect opinions on race or sex. Courts and potential parties to actions need to remember that restrictions on speech must be content and viewpoint-neutral and must get the highest scrutiny.
