SPEECH: Protect all kinds

The Constitution guarantees us all free speech. During the last decade a new term has sprung up and they call it hate speech. Who defines what hate speech is and is not?

Hate speech is a way to shut down free speech, which is guaranteed to all of us by the Constitution. Don’t call my speech hate speech because you don’t agree with what I say.

The day we have to curb our thoughts and speech to appease others is the day our Republic has died. Are we here yet?
