    Contents: 
    Introduction -- 1. Overview -- 2. "Hate speech" laws violate fundamental free speech and equality principles -- 3. When "hate speech" is protected and when it is punishable -- 4. Because of their intractable vagueness and overbreadth, "hate speech" laws undermine free speech and equality -- 5.

Conclusion: looking back -- and forward.

    "Dispelling rampant confusion about "hate speech," this book explains how U.S. law appropriately distinguishes between punishable and protected discriminatory speech.
