Thank you, Almanac for writing about this! It’s critical to speak out early and often. Since persecuting minority groups is an escalating national and global trend, I hope all impacted communities share their experiences with local police, anti-hate groups, the media and the FBI, so that the source is identified and exposed. (So brave throwing this stuff out there in the dead of night.)

If distributing hateful trash (about any group of individuals) has the potential of fomenting discord or emboldening bad actors, perhaps the definition of “Hates crime” should be broadened to include these sorts of hateful materials.

There are people who believe this stuff and, sadly, some will act on it. Some folks need it spelled out for them, legally.

Let’s challenge our lawmakers to fix the law.
