Scholarship Prompt:
Idlewild, TX has been a hot spot for political debate
surrounding affirmative action, higher education, and racial equality
programs.
Clark Kent, a nationally known conservative commentator, and
founder of the Keep it Simple Silly (KISS) organization, has gained a
large following for his outspoken criticism of affirmative action
policies. Kent frequently delivers speeches at college campuses,
claiming to promote intellectual diversity and free thought.
During a KISS campus event at Idlewild Southern University
(“ISU”), Kent gave a speech where he spoke of how affirmative action
hurts America. The event was open to the public and streamed live on
social media.
In his speech, Kent made several controversial remarks,
including statements questioning the academic qualifications of African
American students and implying that merit was being replaced by racial
favoritism. He also made inflammatory comments concerning literacy and
intelligence saying, “blacks aren’t smart enough, this is why they need
affirmative action” and made comments regarding guns laws stating “it’s
worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately some gun deaths every single
year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other
God-given rights”. Throughout the speech, Kent mocked university
diversity programs and claimed that “America’s future is being destroyed
by policies that reward laziness and punish excellence.”
Three days after the speech, Billy Joe Cyrus, a follower of
Kent, confronted Jahiem Brown, a 29-year-old African American graduate
student at ISU, outside a local shop. Witnesses reported that Cyrus
accused Brown of “stealing opportunities” from “more qualified people”
and referenced talking points like those Kent made in his speech.
The confrontation escalated, and Cyrus fatally shot Brown.
He was later arrested and charged with second-degree murder. During
police questioning, Cyrus told investigators that Kent “opened his eyes”
and that he “had to do something before it was too late.”
Brown’s family filed a civil wrongful death action in
Idlewild Superior Court against Clark Kent alleging that his speech
directly incited violence and contributed to Jahiem Brown’s death.
The complaint asserts causes of action for:
1. Wrongful Death – Incitement to Violence, under Idlewild
Civil Code § 123.1, which imposes liability when speech is “intended and
likely to produce imminent lawless action.”
2. Negligence, alleging that Kent knew or should have known
that his statements would foreseeably inspire violence from his
followers.
3. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, asserting
that Kent’s speech was so extreme and outrageous as to exceed all bounds
of decency.
Kent has filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that all his
statements are protected under the First Amendment, as they constitute
political speech and do not meet the standard for incitement.
At trial, trial court denied Kent’s motion to dismiss,
finding that the plaintiffs had alleged sufficient facts to proceed.
Kent appealed to the Idlewild Court of Appeals, arguing that his speech
was protected under the First Amendment.
The Court of Appeals has accepted the case and invited
briefs on whether Kent’s speech is constitutionally protected.
You are counsel for Brown’s family. Prepare a legal brief
addressing whether Kent’s speech falls within the protection of the
First Amendment, or does it constitute unprotected speech under the
incitement or fighting words exceptions
