Verbal Harassment
While the first amendment of the Constitution protects a person's freedom of speech, it does not allow an individual or a group of
individuals to use that freedom to harass or illegally intimidate another person or group of people.
Verbal harassment can include using any type of language that demeans or causes emotional pain to the individual who is being
verbally harassed.
