<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span>As corporate culture goes, most people understand you live two lives. While at work, you live according to company rules. While at home, you live according to your rules. For the most part, corporate culture and private life never mixed, until now. </span><span class="hardreadability"><span>Members of the National Association of Realtors are now banned from "hate speech" even in their private lives</span></span><span>. A move by any other organization would </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>be ignored</span></span><span>; </span><span class="complexword"><span>however</span></span><span>, N.A.R. has 1.4 million members. </span><span class="adverb"><span>Arguably</span></span><span> one of the largest trade organizations in America. When N.A.R. makes a move to censor their member's private speech, people stand up and take notice. </span></div>

<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span>This prohibition on "hate speech" is 24/7/365 and encompasses all communication. </span><span class="hardreadability"><span>Regardless if you are having a private conversation with your priest or therapist, N.A.R. is mandating you mind your words</span></span><span>. It does not matter if you are speaking </span><span class="adverb"><span>privately</span></span><span> or </span><span class="adverb"><span>publically</span></span><span>. It does not matter if you are writing or speaking. It does not even matter if you are online or off. All speech, all the time, anywhere and to anyone is now covered under the N.A.R's ban of "hate speech". If you violate this rule, you could </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>be charged</span></span><span> up to $15,000 and removed from the organization. </span></div>

<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span>My problem with "hate speech" is not that it occurs but that it is subjective. "Hate speech" </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>is defined by</span></span><span> personal belief or feeling rather than based on facts. "Hate speech" in this way can then </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>be weaponized</span></span><span>. It can </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>be used</span></span><span> as a tool for those among us who </span><span class="complexword"><span>participate</span></span><span> in cancel culture. This move by N.A.R. is nothing more than an attempt to oppress dissenting views. It is N.A.R. canceling free speech and due process. </span><span class="hardreadability"><span>It removes the merits of what </span></span><span class="passivevoice"><span>is said</span></span><span class="hardreadability"><span> and why and replaces them with subjective standards defined by whom</span></span><span>? </span><span class="hardreadability"><span>This new standard tells the world, N.A.R. will not judge its members on their merits; we will judge them based on political correctness</span></span><span>. </span></div>

<div>
<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span>Of course, some fools will move forward and champion such a move. They will consent to the loss of freedom for a false promise of a friendlier world. They believe they have freedom from speech versus freedom of speech. </span></div>

<div>
<div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr"><span>Will N.A.R. become a place where #AllLivesMatter </span><span class="passivevoice"><span>is considered</span></span><span> hate? Will N.A.R. become a place where saying, "Make America Great Again" is hate? Better, yet, </span><span class="qualifier"><span>maybe</span></span><span> we should ask ourselves, has N.A.R. already become such a place? </span><span class="hardreadability"><span>Are our faithful members no longer allowed to teach their faith because it may </span></span><span class="passivevoice"><span>be considered</span></span><span class="hardreadability"><span> hateful by someone else</span></span><span>? Who is now in charge of this moral subjectivity and without any standard, where will you draw a line? </span></div>
