Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.

Hate speech isn't protected. Nor is slander, nor calls to violence. How exactly that's administered, I'm not sure. I imagine it varies from state to state, and possibly even locality to locality.

[kaffy_r]

Depending on what your interpretation of "hate speech" and "protected" are, and yes, hate speech is protected; for instance, it is protected in the U.S. as long as it does not become hate action.

I've lived in the U.S. for more than 35 years, and it's still a little gobsmacking to me, as someone born in Canada. But after all this time, it makes a certain type of sense - for this country.

I actually looked this up today and you're right. I've spent years thinking hate speech wasn't protected, and it turns out it is. Huh. The more you know...

Anyways, thanks for the correction.

[kaffy_r]

Less a correction than some additional facts. I found this entire discussion really fascinating, because of the incredible differences in cultural context and legal concepts. I think it does us North Americans good to be reminded regularly that what we take for granted - i.e., the ability to point and jeer at Nazis or neo-Nazis, secure in the assumed knowledge that they'll be outnumbered by opponents - is not at all to be taken for granted elsewhere. It's sad, and scary, and necessary to remember.
