Where is the line between freedom of speech and hate speech? What happens to civility and community when that line is crossed?
Come prepared to discuss your understanding of the spirit of the freedom of speech section of the first amendment:
“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.”
