Sorry, kids, the 1st Amendment does protect 'hate speech' - LA Times

Sorry, kids, the 1st Amendment does protect 'hate speech' - LA Times: "Outside those situations, hate speech is protected by the 1st Amendment against abridgment by the government, including a state university. (As a private institution, Williams College isn’t bound by the 1st Amendment in the way the University of California is. But its policies on speech have nothing to do with “legally recognized hate speech.”)





“Haters gotta hate," the saying goes. But if they do, their words are protected by the Constitution -- whatever college students think."
