Brigitte Bardot was found guilty on Tuesday, June 2, of violating France’s laws regarding speech and writing. France doesn’t honor the American constitutional right of Freedom of Speech.

Brigitte Bardot was a successful movie star and the Angelina Jolie of the 1950’s. She was every soldiers dream girl in World War II. After her acting career ended, she devoted herself to preventing animal cruelty. For this reason, she wrote a letter to a government official in France saying that she was tired of being under the thumb of these people (muslims) and they are destroying her country.

In what is a surprising development to every American, in April 2008 Brigitte Bardot was charged with discrimination and inciting a riot. Yesterday the court ruled she is guilty. Brigitte Bardot must pay a fine in excess of $23,000.00. Freedom of speech is not a right in France.

Freedom of Speech should not be taken for granted. All Americans must be vigilant for legislation that erodes the power of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.
