Free speech vs. hate speech

Of course, most elementary school students will tell you that hate speech is not to be confused with free speech.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Only in the mind of a Marxist ( or Useful Idiot) government school teacher!

This is what the government schools are indoctrinating our children with EVERY government school day! This is why I am soooooo insistent about shutting down government schools! All it takes is one indoctrinated generation and freedom will be lost in the voting booth.

Marxism is our nation’s most serious threat, and their MOST important weapon is our government schools!

Given that they’ve been thoroughly propagandized by the likes of the author, perhaps so.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In not so many years this kids will be adults and voting!

Marxism and its weapon, government schools, are our nation’s most important and serious threat.

I seriously mean this!

Why are people asleep?

This is why the whole concept of Hate Speech is flawed. When I say something, that's Free Speech. When you disagree with me, you're a Hater and you should just shut up.

I don't agree that people should be "shut up".

But to deny some of the hateful garbage coming from racists, terrorists and various sociopaths etc is "hate speech" is either not truthful or simply amoral.

But that's not the stuff that gets classified as Hate Speech!

Black folks say vile things about white folks all the time. It's not considered hate speech. Muslims say bad things about the Jews all the time. That's not hate speech. Feminists spray invective at males -- it's not hate speech.

Saying, "The Bible says homosexuality is wrong" -- now THAT's considered Hate Speech.

I reject the whole concept. It's an invented tool so that certain classes can say what they want, while certain other classes can be oppressed because they said what they wanted. It's totally un-American.

I don't see the fact that the politically correct assign false definitions to "hate speech" as a reason to reject the "whole concept" out right.

I think those of us who have not totally lost our moral compass and are honest are quite capable of classifying REAL hate speech when we hear it.
