Listeners respond: what speech would you outlaw?

The World

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday in a case that may test the limits of free speech.

The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas will argue before the nation’s highest court for their constitutional right to protest outside soldiers’ funerals with signs reading things like “God Hates Fags.”

We discuss this groundbreaking case later in the show but, in the meantime, we asked you: What’s something you’ve heard or read that you thought should be outlawed?

We heard from a variety of listeners, including one from New Jersey who said they might outlaw “violently racist, sexist or generally prejudiced comments.”
