Current Social-Justice Global Events

1.) In my video on the 1st Amendment, I discussed the impact of the Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio and the imminent lawless action test that resulted from it. One of the consequences of this case was that hate speech is generally seen as protected by the 1st Amendment. Do you agree that hate speech is something that should be protected by the 1st Amendment? Do you believe that hate groups, like white supremacist groups, should have their speech protected by the 1st Amendment? Explain your response.2.) What are your thoughts about the idea of “defunding” the police? In your response, please make references to the material in the “Police Brutality” module page. Also, keep in mind that defunding does not necessarily mean eliminating the police; the arguments around defunding are more complex than that.
