Free Speech in College Campuses
Racism, sexism and homophobia are spreading throughout the country. Among the settings of these expressions of intolerance are colleges and university campuses. Charles R. Lawrence believes that regulating free speech can help relieve this growing plague. Author of the article “Regulating Racist Speech On Campus”. Hate Speech on campus creates a hostile learning environment and tolerance of hate speech on campuses is harmful to students. Free speech will allow bigots to express their thoughts and subject their targets to a loss of equal educational opportunity. In the words of Charles Lawrence, “It is the University’s responsibility for insuring that these students receive an equal educational opportunity provides a compelling justification for regulations that insure them safe passage in all common areas. A minority student should not have to risk becoming a target of racially assaulting speech every time he or she chooses to walk cross campus”. (PG 383) School such as University of Michigan points out that, “It disrupts the educational process and retards progress made in bringing equal opportunity and access to educational for all”. Students will be driven to silence in avoidance of the issues and fear of confrontation.
