>> Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment.

The entirety of “hate speech” law should be scrubbed. It is without question the most asinine and divisive form of law.

Speech is speech.

The writers of A-1 weren't woke enough to know about "different types" of speech.

We all had to wait a couple of hundred years for some dip-chit liberals to come up with this nonsense.

Not really. Most people don't understand the First Amendment. That Right allows citizens to bitch about the government without being accused of sedition. That is formally called "redress of grievances". It also prohibits the Federal government from establishing a state religion or interfering with the free practice of religion.

The First Amendment has nothing to do with the use of coarse or insulting language unless it is directed at the government or a government official. All other interpretations come from "court rot".
