If We Have Freedom Of Speech.....

If we have freedom of speech then why are we legislated on what we can say?

The Constitution doesn't say what we are allowed to say because then we wouldn't have freedom of speech. If we are prosecuted for anything we say then we have lost the freedom of speech. We can burn the flag because that is freedom of speech but we can't condemn someone for a lifestyle. It has been legislated as hate speech so were is the freedom to express ourselves as we wish? You can call someone a homophobe and that is ok but you can't call someone's lifestyle sick or perverted because that is hate speech. You can say anything you want about a Christian lifestyle, condemn it as hateful or exclusive, tell our children that christians lie about the creation of the world but the teachers can teach the lie of evolution even though it has never been proved as true.

Teachers can't teach creationism along with evolution because of separation of church and state but they can teach evolution as a fact when there is no provable proof that it is true. It is a theory at best, so should not be taught in school as fact. If we have freedom of speech teachers who would like to be truthful and present both theorys should be allowed the freedom of speech to do so.
