Facebook has apologized to a Texas newspaper after flagging a post containing text from the Declaration of Independence as “hate speech.”

Breitbart reports the Liberty County Vindicator had been uploading the Declaration of Independence in parts to their Facebook page.

But the social media giant removed their tenth installment, claiming the text violated the social network’s policies on “hate speech.”

The managing editor of the Liberty County Vindicator, Casey Stinnett, called it ironic “that the words of Thomas Jefferson should now be censored in America.”
