Well..What do you think about this?

Should hate speech be outlawed because it encourages or have the potential of encouraging hate crimes and other misconducts?

Or

Hate speech should be allowed because of freedom of speech?

This is the topic that my Pol 200 teacher assigned to my group, and a really tough one. I'm torn in between so I thought I'd give it a shot at TFP.

It'd be great if I can get inputs on both sides.

Thanks in advance.
