government, and the integrity of democratic institutions; and 12
WHEREAS, the General Assembly recognizes the concerning rise in political 13
violence, threats against religious and cultural institutions, and all forms of ideological 14
hatred across the nation and within its borders, which is often driven by the mass 15
dissemination of hateful, divisive, and false narratives; and 16
WHEREAS, this rhetoric, whether it is spread through social media, traditional 17
media, or other public platforms, strikes at the heart of representative democracy and 18
chills civic engagement for all Kentuckians; 19
NOW, THEREFORE, 20
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the 21
Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Senate concurring therein: 22
