Description

Chapter II, Article A, Section 4 states: "Slurs or invective against an entire class of people (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, transphobic, ageist, and ableist slurs, or slurs against religious, political, ethnic, or national groups) are prohibited. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc., is not a legitimate excuse for hate speech."

I am con, meaning that I am against the existence of this rule. My opponent will be pro, meaning that he/she will be in favor or the existence of this rule.

SETUP
