Will America Ban Hate Speech?

October 18, 2018, Steven Koskulitz, 1 Comment

Do the people who want to ban hate speech actually hate speech?

On October 16, the Heritage Foundation hosted an event in which panelists discussed free speech in America, with an important focus on ‘hate speech’. The panel consisted of professor of law at New York Law School and former ACLU President Nadine Strossen, Heritage Foundation Associate Director and Research Fellow Arthur Milikh, and professor of political science at Boise State University Scott Yenor. The three of them said that they are supportive of free speech, even when it is deemed “hate speech.”

I certainly hope not.

"Hate" can be a useful, logical point of view, rationally-arrived-at (in certain cases).

The First Amendment protects "hate speech" more importantly than any "other" kind of "speech".
