Democrat’s Extremist ‘White Supremacy’ Bill Would Silence Political Speech

The Leading Against White Supremacy Act 2023 was introduced by Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in January. The bill is the most unconstitutional piece of legislation in years. 

The Leading Against White Supremacy Act These are the goals “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.”

According to the bill proposal “A person engages in a white supremacy inspired hate crime when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime.”

In other words, Jackson Lee’s legislation would make any crime or an attempt to commit a crime that is arguably “motivated” By white supremacy ideology, a hate crime would be considered a crime that is punishable by a more severe penalty than other crimes. “hate.”

It doesn’t appear to matter how crazy or mentally ill the person committing the crime is, either. So, under the bill, if a deranged mass shooter allegedly inspired by white supremacy TikTok videos and Facebook posts kills several people, any of the “white supremacy” Materials “read, heard, or viewed” The shooter may make the person who uploaded those materials guilty for conspiracy.

You might think this applies only to those with extreme views and political opinions about white supremacy. But recent history has shown that many left-leaning individuals have a broad, very deep understanding of the subject. “white supremacy.”

For example, the National Education Association, America’s largest teachers union, Claim This is despite “white supremacy culture” It is usually “associated with violence perpetrated by the KKK and other white supremacist groups, it also describes a political ideology and systemic oppression that perpetuates and maintains the social, political, historical and/or industrial white domination.” The NEA also Claim, “Organizations that are led by people of color or have a majority of people of
