The proposed hate crimes legislation seeks to amend the existing hate crimes law, expanding federal jurisdiction, so that all acts of violence which are motivated by hate toward a person because of his or her "real or perceived" membership in a specific group would be a federal offense. The new law adds sexual orientation, gender and disability into the list of specially protected groups. Unfortunately hate crimes legislation doesn't end by simply changing the criminal code. It also sets aside unlimited funds to be allocated for educational initiatives designed "to prevent juvenile hate crimes." Within these educational initiatives there resides an anti-Christian theme that denigrates religion and teaches that Christians are hate criminals.
