I'm on Peterson's side for this issue, but isn't it a fallacy to assume that the ban on hate speech is going to result in the destruction of free speech? It's pretty fundamentalist to assume that speech that literally and historically has incited violence against groups such as Blacks is something that must be protected under the veil of free speech.
I am a Canadian, so I have grown up with this law, and I'm wondering why Americans view it as an "unholy offence".
