Should online hate speech be censored?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hate speech can be both distasteful and offensive, but in many countries it isn't illegal -- it's protected as free speech. But should it be? Many people worry that tolerance of hate speech, especially online, has led to acts of actual violence and hate crimes. But if hate speech is banned, who gets to decide what qualifies or doesn't qualify? Pose these questions for students, and help them think through the importance of both respect for others and free speech.

Students will be able to:

Explain whether hate speech is protected under the "freedom of speech" clause of the First Amendment.

Identify the pros and cons of censoring online hate speech.

Take a position on whether they think online hate speech should be protected or censored, and support it with compelling reasons.

How can you create a digital footprint that showcases your purpose?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

Explain what it means to find your purpose and why it is beneficial.

Consider different ways that people have used their digital footprint to make a positive impact on the world and whether you would do something similar.

Reflect on what your own purpose might be, including a problem you want to solve and how you might go about solving it.

Identify the pros and cons of schools having access to students' social media.

Describe the concerns related to government access to social media and cellphone data, including those related to free speech and privacy.
