Send us a textWhat happens when good intentions pave the road to censorship? Researcher Diane Peterson joins Dr. Robert Jackson to expose the hidden dangers lurking within South Carolina's pending hate crime legislation—Senate Bill 247, the Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act.From the outset, Peterson challenges assumptions about this seemingly noble bill. While named after a victim of the horrific 2015 Mother Emanuel Church shooting, Peterson reveals that federal hate crime laws already addressed that tragedy. So why the push for state legislation? The answer lies at the intersection of politics, globalism, and the gradual erosion of constitutional freedoms.With remarkable clarity, Peterson breaks down the bill's language, explaining how its vague wording allowing prosecution for crimes motivated "in whole or in part" by bias creates dangerous subjectivity. When prosecutors must determine what someone was thinking during a crime, anything from social media posts to church attendance could become evidence of "hate"—setting the stage for self-censorship and government overreach.Most startling is Peterson's revelation about who's driving this legislation. The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, acting as the "spearhead" for international corporate interests, pushes these measures to align the state with European ESG standards. This isn't merely theoretical—Peterson documents how similar laws in Europe and Canada have already led to arrests for prayer and criminalization of religious speech.Whether you're concerned about free speech, religious liberty, or the influence of foreign corporations on American governance, this conversation offers essential insights into how seemingly compassionate legislation can threaten foundational freedoms. Listen now and discover why standing against hate shouldn't mean surrendering constitutional rights.https://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
