Dangerous Cults In The United States : This 14 page
paper
answers the question as to whether or not dangerous cults
should be legal in the United States. The answer is not
surprisingly complex as the question involves many issues, most
predominately Constitutional freedoms. Groups such as
Heaven's Gate, EST, Santeria, the Ku Kux Klan and the Right
to Life movement are just some of the groups discussed.
Satanic song lyrics are also addressed as part of the issue. The
paper concludes that while truly dangerous cults should be
outlawed, this should be done very carefully as not to infringe
on first amendment rights. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
