While I agree the government via the citizens has a responsibility to protect kids from trash that people say it is no justification for laws putting people in jeopardy of jail or fines for saying what they want.
Want to talk racial hatred...you will be exposed and the community will reveal you for what you are...a pig who deserves to be an outcast. However, using the force of the state to stop it violates their constitutional command to protect it.
Whats the right mix with that kind of problem?

What about the millions upon millions of older Americans who spate “hate speech” against “the Japs” and “the Krauts” in World War II? Should THEY be considered “outcasts” for feeling and speaking as they did?
I contend that “hate” and “hate speech” is actually NECESSARY if we - of the West - are serious about confronting and defeating the dark enemy that seeks to destroy us. They certainly have no qualms about “hating” us and our way of life.
If you can’t use “hateful” and sometimes “inflammatory” speech in order to mobilize the emotions of a nation to defeat a sworn enemy, what ARE you going to use? Kumbaya?
