Re: Hate speech is...

Education is the answer to hate speech of all types, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc.

The problem lies with where does education begin and finish and at what point could it be condsidered propagandising the 'student'?

Passing laws against hate are almost laughable and only truly enforceable with real thought police.

My worry with the current support for censorship is that it is the thin end of a potentially very thick wedge.

Common sense seems to be fading away in the world .
