Bill to make racial slurs illegal?

How would you feel about a law such as this?

This is an incredibly stupid idea. Using a racial slur would be a very stupid reason to go to jail.

Or fine.

Side: Support

I oppose racial and other slurs but I support freedom of speech. People make mistakes. The focus should be on rehabilitation, not punishment. No I am not saying that slurs are okay. I just think the government should stick to life and essential liberty.

First racial slurs, then what?

Sexist slurs. Then what?

I'm guessing that able-ist slurs would come after that .

This would obviously be an attack on our right to free speech. If we made everything we didn't like or approve of illegal, we'd all be behind bars.

I think such a bill would be going too far. People should not have to be fined for uttering a racial slur.
