The recent death of a demonstrator in
Charlottesville, Virginia, and the ongoing tension between political parties,
highlights the danger of ideological extremism in the U.S. What is
Neo-National-Socialism? How do we address ideological extremes within the
framework of our Constitution and the First Amendment? Cultural clashes spurred
by divergent views and values are not new to our national history. What have we
learned from the past? How can we apply these lessons? Who is "the far
right?" What is Neo-Nazi ideology?
How does a democratic nation balance free speech against national security? Join us for a FRANK Talk on the rise of extremist
ideology and its relationship to the core of our democratic principles. Facilitated by Dr. Albrecht Classen, University of Arizona, Department of
German Studies and Director of Undergraduate Studies.
