Anti-Boycott Laws Defy Our Constitution
by Alan Leveritt
July 2022
The author, founder of a newspaper in Little Rock, Arkansas, decries anti-boycott laws that require businesses seeking contracts with the State to sign a pledge, e.g. not to boycott Israel. He refused to sign this pledge on the grounds of Free Speech, although it cost him advertising. He points to the growing number of anti-boycott laws on such concerns as climate change, fossil fuels and firearms and observes that if this approach continues, no Constitutional right is secure.
