Does the First Amendment Protect Hate Speech on Campus and Online?

[@bhaashatepe5234]

the genocide would have not happened if the other side had the right of their own freedom of speech.

Now that I have learned that Public Universities are bound by the First amendment and Private Universities aren't, I can comfortability say that if a student if fine with inferior learning and are willing to sacrifice a much broader collection of information, they have a right to withhold the ability to learn. Public universities must uphold a students ability to gather the vast amount of views that inturn will produce the brightest and a more divers group of future leaders. Private = limited or controlled.. public= open mindedness and trust of our future leaders.

Thank you National Constitution Center for your work! This is such a great resource to learn about hot constitutional topics. :)

I do wish more of the keynote speakers were African American, just so the arguments wouldn't be shot down as "oh another couple white mansplainers"

People that think that are the problem wouldn't you say?

Of course it does?

Does the first amendment protect hate speech? Yes!

[@joshuadelaunay2980]

There is no such thing as hate speech and the first amendment protects all speech that doesn’t directly call for violence. Any entity trying to hush any speech that doesn’t directly call for violent action is anti constitutional and deserves no credence and should not receive any government funding or special taxation allowances. Everyone on this panel appears to be very left leaning.

My question is even if you have the right to call someone a migger, why do it? Hate speech like poronagraphy "I know it when I hear it?" It is subjective. Public Universities and Private Universities. Legal Censorship, Social Censorship, Self Censorship. Can Hate Speech be Civil? Is the "1619 Project"`and Critical Race Theory" hate speech? Then you have Liberal, Conservative and Libertarian prespectives.. I think that Libertarians are "absolutist" with regards to free speech. Both Conservatives and Republicans have advocated for censorship but for different issues.

You stupid fuch , of course there is hate speech. It there is hate speech. You mother is a whore would be an example. Even speech in direct calls to immediate violence has led to violence.

[@owlnyc666]

I do not think that "everyone" on the panel appears to be left leaning. I would agree that none of those "lean" to the far right. So, "the election was stolen" , free speech!. Did it incite the tiny minority to violence that led to the deaths of five people on Jan. 6th?

Nice video. The "winner" in the vote is that 86% have a better understanding of the opposing-different-(wrong? 😉 ) views. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Considering The Federalist Society is very right-wing, one can surmise that you thinking they are left-leaning, you're even to the right of The Federalist Society, so are you a fascist or full-blown Nazi?

No. The first only gaurantees Congress won't punish you for what you say.

[@joshuawood1436]

Congress? Lol

[@please.665]

@@joshuawood1436 Meaning, Congress cannot make laws or change existing laws prohibiting free speech. That's the only gaurantee of the 1st.

@@joshuawood1436 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Yeah Congress. "El oh El".

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Seems it does a lot more than "just Congress", eh? Maybe you should comprehend the topic before posting drivel on it.

[@joshuawood1436]

@@please.665 It also protects the right to assemble, to protest, to petition the Government, and to practice your religion, as well as speak openly and freely. This covers all Government, not just congress, and it covers your right to do the aforementioned at home or in public. You're a silly bot.
