No, racist speech is protected under the U.S Constitution.

The correct answer is option A.

Can the government ban speech?

As the supreme court held in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the authorities can also forbid “incitement”—speech “directed at inciting or producing impending lawless action” and “in all likelihood to incite or produce such action” (which includes a speech to a mob urging it to assault a nearby constructing).

By using distinctive features of the Fourteenth Amendment, the first amendment's constitutional proper of unfastened speech and highbrow freedom also applies to the kingdom and local governments. Government companies and government officials are forbidden from regulating or limiting speech or other expression based totally on its content or viewpoint.
