162 Mr. Kurtz July 3‚ 2013 Freedom of Speech on a College Campus What would you do if a swastika was hung outside your dorm room or building by another student?

Charles H Lawrence first begins his essay by presenting himself as a political dissenter. He does this to establish some sort of credibility as a free speech advocate‚ supposedly in contrast to what he will continue to speak about. While there is no mystery why he does this in my estimation‚ in so doing he perpetuates what I believe to be a fundamental misconception about free speech as it relates to law and the continued health of democracy. If free speech is to have any power at all‚ the ability

Free Speech on Campus Free speech creates all sorts of problems‚ but it is the core of who we are. Without freedom of speech‚ America would not be the same. It would be more of a dictatorship than a democracy. All college students have their own ideas‚ but not all of them are on the same page. That is exactly what is happening on college campuses all across the country. Students have the right to speak‚ but they do not have the right to stop someone else from speaking.

Each and every day someone in our world is getting injured or even killed because of their skin color.

As an advocate‚ I will be arguing against the proposition stating that campus speech codes are required to ensure that all voices are welcomed. To start off‚ campus speech codes are defined as regulations that prevent discriminatory speech directed at a person’s race‚ gender‚ sexuality‚ or other element of identity. However‚ I think there can be an argument made that these codes can set a different standard on what it means to be discriminatory. Therefore‚ these regulations can unjustly restrict
