Hate speech incites violence, yet if it occurs, the Loudoun County School Board procedurally has to listen to it during public comment, say “thank you” to the inciter, and then stream it for all to hear on their website. During the School Board meeting on December 13th, A man said that people in the LGBTQ+ community are better off with “millstones around their necks at the bottom of a river.” Many people in the audience cheered. Platforming hate speech like this empowers people to commit acts of violence against oppressed groups of people, and causes people like me in the LGBTQIA+ community to be bullied (often into suicidal ideation or suicide), tortured, and killed. I demand policy in the School Board that requires them to cut off a person speaking during public comment the second hate speech is spoken.
