The purpose of the First Amendment is meant for freedom of speech which includes hate speech, religious beliefs, and protest. In my opinion, I believe that freedom of speech should be censored more. For instance, people and hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan use their freedom of speech rights to hate on others that they don't like. The bad problem is that they are allowed to say hateful things to people they don't like which are mainly Jewish and black people. Hate speech can lead to people getting killed and promoting violence to others. An example can be, "an alleged white supremacist plowed his car into counter-protesters, killing a woman and injuring 19 others.". This shows how hate speech which is part of the first amendment can lead to violence and terrorist acts and demonstrations. I think if we censor freedom of speech more, our nation can feel safe and stay away from things that happened in the past.

i believe that we should be educating people on why hate speech could be hurtful and/or offensive or even why it should be censored instead of actually censoring someone because that could help the people of the future understand hate speech and the first amendment better then we do. plus, if we only censor and never educate then that will get us nowhere and it would do us no good to censor everything because then it would all just be censor censor censor and beep beep beep and i do not think that anyone or anything needs to be censored 24/7/365 like that but then again i also believe that people should be punished for inciting crimes such as the capitol mob attack.

The first amendment is meant to protect the right of free speech and the right to gather in groups. It is not however mean to protect people from being punished for saying hurtful things to others. I do not think that public speech should be censored because there are so many possible things that could go wrong. For example, someone might find something offensive that others won't, and who gets to decide what is and isn't offensive, does it vary from person to person? Hate speech is very much linked to hate crimes. For example in the article it states, “The debate has come under renewed focus in the aftermath of a violent white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, which left one person dead and several others injured.” The hate speech from the rally resulted with someone dying.

The first amendment allows us to express our freedom of speech, religion, race, etc. In my opinion, I think that most hate speeches should be censored, because it may have a bad influence on others, and cause difficulties. We have the freedom of speech because we have a voice in our society, but when you use your voice to put others down, it should not be accepted. If there were an election, I would understand that many people will voice their opinions about who they are voting for, and who they support. This also means, there will be some people to start criticising the president elect they don't support. I think this type of "hate speech" is accepted because it allows citizens to show their opinions on the situation, and allows them to show their freedom of speech. This type of speech is also protected by the first amendment. But, when you are just putting others down for little to no reasons, it is unacceptable and should be censored.

Censorship of hate speech is a complicated thing because although some hate speech is very bad and is not ok at all, some speech that is considered hate speech is used to criticize others but help them learn in that same way. ” We need to be able to hear all sides because that’s how we become intelligent voters and responsible citizens.” We need to hear other peoples opinions on subjects in order to be open minded and actually learn something. We should not censor some speech because it can help people, but citizens should also know that hate speech can hurt someone. “But the problem is, if we outlaw speech, that means the government or others in authority are going to be picking and choosing what we hear. Also, if we censor it the government will have freedom to pick and choose the words they want to be censored or not. All in all, we should not censor it.

Censorship should be allowed but only to an extent because, if we censor things that cause harm in any. way that keeps things peaceful but if we censor thing because we just don't agree/ like it then that isn't reasonable..  Freedom of Speech was created because America is supposed to be a free country where people are able to be themselves.  Ann example of this is that we're able to practice whatever religion we believe in or if you're an atheist thats okay. In the article, the author states "The courts have said the First Amendment protects most hate speech. But it does not give anyone the right to make threats or false statements. It also doesn’t protect the use of language that incites violence. One often-cited example is that you don’t have the right to falsely yell “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater."

I do not think that we should censor things that we don’t believe are right or fair. The reason I say this is because I believe that the other side should have a voice as well, as long as they aren’t being sexist or racist and if it comes up to something with the race or sex of a person then it should be factual and based off of opinion. An example of this is, “Black males have the highest percentage of people in prison” this should not be censored since it is factual. “KILL ALL MEN 2020!!”. This should be censored because first off, It’s violent and promotes mass murder. So to sum up what I have said, We should only censor things to have to do with sex or race that are opinions, facts shouldn't be censored.

I think we should use censorship, yes everyone is entitled to their opinion and their beliefs but not if their against any race,religion,sex. The united states of america is known as the the state the allows you to be free with liberty and justice but if theres groups advocating for the death or hatred against you race,religion sex, etc. it shouldn´t be allowed. No one wants to live in a place where their getting attacked for being themselves. For example in the article ¨ Should the First Amendment Protect Hate Speech?¨ anti-black demonstrations in southwest Chicago, aimed at keeping African- Americans out of that neighborhood. This is sad because no one wants be kicked out of their home or where they live because other people have such entitled opinions.  I think the first amendment should not protect hate speech if its towards anybody or a person, if its towards the government or a certain movement it should be protected because the 1st amendment was made so the people weren't controlled as much by the government.

I believe that we should censor some things that come across as offensive. If we censor some words and phrases that nobody would want to hear about themselves, the country would be a much better place and I feel like people would be able to get along better. I believe some hate speech should be allowed if it is along the lines of disagreeing and not taking things too far. But discrimination or body shaming or more should not be allowed anywhere in the country. The first amendment was created for free speech in the country but taking things too far could result in fights, or riots, or even worse. I don't think that much should be censored, but a little bit should.

Censorship should be allowed but only if it is needed because some things need to be censored because it could be hurtful or inappropriate. Freedom was speech was created because it means all American citizens can criticize their government and speak their minds without fear of being censored or persecuted. An example of this is protesting or small gatherings and sharing your opinion and spreading your ideas. In the Edpuzzle the author states that "The Court has recognized that the First Amendment protects certain forms of symbolic speech. Flag burning is such a form of symbolic speech. "

Censorship should be allowed but only to an extent because, if we censor things that cause harm in any.  if we censor things that we just don't like than that is not okay. But I do think that we should censor hate speech because hate speech just hurts people and does not do any good.

I agree because hate speech can make a lot of people disappointed, but I don't think people should censor everything, people should be mature enough to handle some words.

I agree with this because hate speech can have bad influence on other if people say negative things to other people it can probably hurt others.It impacts on the others because if you tell they a hate speech they will probably get hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly agree because hate of speech can be bad. It can harm someone or something. It can impact and damage the world. So we should be careful for what we do.

# data[].attributes.body
Censorship should be allowed but not everything needs to be. Only some things because, if we censor things that is harmful, it can keep things peaceful but if we censor things because we don't agree with it, it's not reasonable.
