California Can't Define 'Hate Speech' But May Mandate Workplace Training Anyway

The article frames workplace hate speech training mandates skeptically, opening with a rhetorical move (dismissing 'hate speech' as ambiguous) that privileges libertarian concerns about definitional clarity and regulatory overreach. The framing centers constitutional/free speech anxieties rather than workplace safety or discrimination concerns. Word choice ('gets thrown around') suggests imprecision or manipulation by advocates of such policies.
