First Amendment challenged by civil rights restrictions on decisionmaker speech
The article discusses how laws that restrict employers from asking certain questions or making discriminatory statements are not a violation of free speech. These laws aim to prevent discrimination based on factors like race, gender, or age. The authors argue that this type of speech is more like commercial expression than protected speech because it can lead to illegal discrimination. They suggest that these laws are justified in order to protect individuals from being unfairly treated in job opportunities.
