Is it now illegal to speak against Christians? Or just Jews and Islam?

People say hateful things all the time about Christians and nobody bats an eye because they say it’s “free speech”.

“Is it now illegal to speak against Christians?”
**************************************************

2019’s HB 741 bans any speech in the public school systems of Florida deemed to be “making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations” about Jews or “the power of Jews as a collective,” such as “the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.”

HB 741 also bans “applying a double standard to Israel by requiring behavior of Israel that is not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation, or focusing peace or human rights investigations only on Israel.”

The bill also adds religion as a protected class to the state’s anti-discrimination laws, but its language pertaining specifically to criticism of Israel are unlike any speech code in law throughout the United States today.

No mention of Christianity in that bill. This could only be by design. They intentionally omitted it.
