Hate speech

In today's world determining things like disinformation and hate speech can be difficult. In a recent school board meeting a person said, "LGBT behaviors should never have been promoted, taught, or encourage in the schools that you oversee" Then he quoted the bible saying, "if any man causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for them if a millstone were tied around their neck and thrown into the lake". One person objected and started collecting signatures declaring that the biblical quote is hate speech. There is a trend these days to objecting to speech not based on logical legal arguments but just to shut conversation down by calling it hate speech. For many anything that is said that they disagree with is hate speech. This is replacing the racism objection in many cases.
