The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act — makes it illegal to “PHYSICALLY HARM” someone based on their race, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation, among other characteristics.

When was it expanded to “emotional harm” for snowflakes?

WHICH TYPES OF SPEECH ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT?

Although different scholars view unprotected speech in different ways, there are basically nine categories:

Obscenity
Fighting words
Defamation (including libel and slander)
Child pornography
Perjury
Blackmail
Incitement to imminent lawless action
True threats
Solicitations to commit crimes
Some experts also would add treason, if committed verbally, to that list.
Plagiarism of copyrighted material is also not protected.
