The Edmonds (WA) School District is hanging up signs that falsely claim "hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment."

Now, students shouldn't be bullying each other. But it seems the school thinks misgendering is hate speech which, again, it is telling students is against the law and saying they need to report it.

Like the plot to a dystopian movie, New York will now monitor social media writings, collect data, and use law enforcement to crack down on any expression it deems to be hate speech.

@mattgilblezy Hard to believe the school district ran that by their legal counsel for approval, before posting. Ok, I can believe it

There’s no such thing as “hate speech”. It’s a made up term to make censorship feel good.

Bullying is assault and hurling cruel insults could be defamation. There is no definition of hate speech. Hate speech is speech that someone doesn’t like. It is protected by the 1st because disagreeable speech is necessary for free speech.

I bet you can say whatever hateful stuff you want about Jews, Christians, or just White People in general.

Only threatening someone with bodily harm is not protected. Liberals use a very vague definition of hate speech. It is anything they disagree with.

In WA they will come after you for saying certain things. Much like what is happening in the UK.

Welcome to the Nazi state where people are encouraged to inform on their neighbors.

Courts have ruled differently

Examples? There are of course exceptions for inciting violence or threats.
