Hate speech is bad, and should be condemned by all.  However, the way to achieve peace and acceptance among differing peoples isn't by attempting to control speech and thought.  People who express negative sentiments toward people they don't agree with is and should remain completely acceptable within the law, with the exception of speech that incites violence toward others.

Nothing about the resolution limits free speech.
