Illiberalism How do we protect ourselves, and our liberal
principles without becoming illiberal?
Those who are willing to give up their liberty for security deserve neither

How do you balance individual rights and protecting society
↗ Reasonable Accommodation: bike helmet laws, kirpan, hijab, minarets, banning burqas
↗ Racial profiling
↗ Hate crimes (punishing people for thoughts, not actions)
↗ Dealing with terrorism – watch lists, restrictions at airports, wiretapping
↗ Curfews

= changing society• $200 tax to keep families separated (= husbands
will go home)
• Komogata Maru• Blocked the landing of a ship from India –
undesirables• Only wanted immigrants from “favorable” nations
• NINA

our values on others?
Illiberalism: to be narrow-minded, to act in a way that goes against
