Letters Nazi threat symptomatic of wider cultural decay
I don't argue with Prof. Franklyn S. Haiman’s Personal View on the right of the Nazis
to march in Skokie or anywhere else. What
really concerns me is that the Nazis could
conceivably convince enough people that their
cause is just. And the way things are moving
in the United States and in the world in 1978,
that thought is not too far-fetched. At that
point, however, free speech in America could
soon end.
“Poppycock,” some might say. Maybe. But
The Sun-Times and other newspapers report
daily how the ethical, moral and political
fibers of the United States are crumbling at
an alarming rate. That same kind of thing
happened to the Roman Empire and the
German Empire. And I am scared.
Not because of Skokie, but because of what
can and will happen to us in the long run.
Further, the credibility of the United States
has never been lower than it is today and our
leadership, both abroad and internally, is
sinking to even lower depths as sociopaths,
along with weak leaders, add to our ruin.
We don’t need to give “free speech” to the
Nazis, the pornographers, the violators of our
social standards. Doing so is only killing us killing our right to be a free nation, under
W. Dennis Hodges
God.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.</p>
