Speech codes restrict language that most people know not to use already. The First Amendment grants you the right to freedom of speech but not all speech is acceptable and appropriate in certain situations. It is inappropriate to call somebody names or display hate towards one another in a public place because people need to feel safe and comfortable in certain environments. I believe that speech codes are unnecessary because people should know how to act properly and be respectful of others. Most speech codes restrict hate speech and these rules seem redundant because people know that it is wrong to direct hate towards somebody and make them feel uncomfortable. Overall, I think that the principles behind speech codes are necessary but these principles should be taught throughout the course of learning and childhood.
