No, let's create Federal laws and language police to outlaw all offensive language.
OTOH, what happens when you say something contoversial which is deemed offensive to someone else.
For example, we know that much of what Rush Limbaugh says is very offensive to many folks. Who gets to determine what is offensive? When you give the power to the Feds, be careful you don't get a hell of a lot more than you asked for.
Look at the homeland security laws. Who foresaw that would eventually entail young girls and grandmas being groped by federal airport security agents in order to keep you safe.
This is the creeping nanny state.

There’s offensive language and behavior in society but the focus of the laws is offensive language and behavior in the workplace.
