The Supreme Court of Canada has held that "hate speech" is not protected by the Canadian Charter of Freedoms. The U.S. Supreme Court, in contrast, has held that hate speech is protected by our First Amendment. (RAV v. City of St. Paul, 505 U.S. 377 (1992)).
US Supreme Court says hate speech is protected?
What about the rider on certain crimes which cause lengthier sentence when hate spedch is used?
