Censorship is never the answer.

Formally banning certain forms of vulgar and bigoted expression establish a code of conduct for the community, even if they aren't strictly enforced.

Teaching values and the corresponding ethics and morals that come with it is closer to the answer.

Morality is as much about proactive and affirmative pursuit of justice as internalized codes of conduct.

If there is no social consequence for immoral behavior, there is no reason to believe the act is immoral.
