If we have freedom of speech is there really such a thing as hate speech?  What is hate speech?

Interesting question!  The United States Constitution says that everyone has the right to freedom of speech, and that’s a really important idea. This means that people shouldn’t be stopped from expressing what they really think and feel, even if that’s rude or shocking or unpopular. The legal idea behind this is that if you stop people from saying their opinions, then there’s no way for you to know if you’re in the wrong. However, there are some situations where the right to free speech has limits, and this includes the so-called “hate speech”.
