This is inaccurate. Sexual and racial harrassment in the workplace may open
one up to civil sanctions, and some colleges and univelrsities have rules
governing student behvbior with respect to speech, but so far as I know there
are no "laws on the books" that would make it illegal to mutter hateful,
racist, or sexist comments to no one in particular on a canoeing trip.
