How do you feel about the fact that hate messages, such as those of the KKK, are protected under freedom of speech?




"I feel they have the right to free speech, such as protected by the Constitution, as any person or group should, but it's unfortunate that these type of hate groups still exist today, especially in our great state of Texas."

"I believe that they have the right to say what they want to say because of freedom of speech, but in my eyes, it is not right."

"Everyone has the right to voice their opinion. But I think most intelligent people won't take them [KKK] seriously."

"I don't agree with the views of the KKK or any other hate group. But it is their constitutional right and when you start sanctioning people for their speech, it could potentially affect all freedom of speech. Yet messages that evoke violence or crime should be stopped."
Adrienne Lowry
