Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, now has one of the nation’s toughest hate crime laws.
The Coeur d’Alene City Council unanimously approved a new hate crime ordinance, introducing a significant addition to the municipal code.
This new chapter establishes a separate offense for individuals who commit an existing offense with a bias motive, Krem2 reported.
The Idaho Tribune described the law as “draconian,” arguing it “will basically make it illegal to think the wrong way.”
“If found guilty, you’ll be sentenced to ‘[re]education.’”
