Discourse Disrupters: Nadine Strossen and Thane Rosenbaum on free speech in America

Robin Hensel, Larry Frost
Robin Hensel and her lawyer, Larry Frost of Bloomington, Minn., stand outside Hensel's home in Little Falls, Minn., in July 2012 next to a sign she created. Hensel has multiple anti-war and political signs in her yard and the city of Little Falls has asked her to take them down, but she refuses and has filed a lawsuit declaring her free speech rights are being violated.
