This coming Tuesday, the Boulder City Council will consider allocating public funding for a “hate hotline,” which would give residents an opportunity to report incidents in which other residents use offensive language.
So, if you live in Boulder and feel someone has said something “hateful” – or perhaps you are simply offended by what someone has said – you might soon be able to report them to the authorities.
I’m shocked and appalled that the "Thought Police" concept seems to be coming true in America. If people are not allowed to speak their own minds, according to the dictates of their own conscience, even when what’s on their mind is not very "nice," how can we be assured that the Bill of Rights applies to us anymore?
If a “hate hotline” is established in Boulder, it will inevitably be used to stifle the speech of persons with sincerely-held religious convictions.
