Regardless, all speech is protected under the 1st amendment, and if “hate speech” were to be unprotected, then we wouldn’t really have freedom of speech. True freedom of speech means allowing speech that I may disagree with, find offensive, or even see as hateful or objectionable. This is the trade off we as Americans make for freedom of speech, in my opinion it is worth it, considering the ability to say anything we want, and not having to feel that the expression of our thoughts and feelings is being policed, is a luxury that few countries truly enjoy, and we are lucky to have the most robust protection of speech in the world.
