WHEREAS, Protecting First Amendment rights is critical, but is also limited to exclude hate speech
using the concept that offending statements first should be viewed through the lens of the party
experiencing the hate, and that Jews, LatinX, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, Muslims,
Disabilities and LGBTI communities can be targets of oppression and hate speech for a variety of
reasons.
WHEREAS while our constitutional right to free speech make it difficult to prevent all incitements
to persecution and violence, we must protect the lives and liberty of those targeted by hate speech,
law enforcement should understand the connections between hate speech and violence and they
should monitor and track such hateful activities both in public and on-line
But there is no exemption in the First Amendment for “hate speech.” And even the progressive left hasn’t officially proposed a constitutional amendment to carve one out. No chance they’ll try to to surreptitiously add such a prohibition by persuading courts to creatively discover penumbral “anti-hate speech” emanations. Right?
