Free Speech vs Hate Speech on Campus
College campuses have long been bastions of free speech. UC Berkeley was the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement protesting the Vietnam War, the first instance of mass student protests at U.S. colleges. Today, by some accounts, support for free speech on campus is waning in favor of censorship of hateful, racist, or offensive speech. Nadine Strossen, former ACLU president, explores the constitutional underpinnings of students’ speech rights and makes the case for allowing more rather than less speech on campus.
