Giving more free speech rights to students is a mistake

[lennypartiv]

What are the leaders of UNC thinking. Other universities have been doing the right thing and limiting free speech by students. The good old days of Mayberry are gone.

---The new School of Civic Life and Leadership is a natural extension of UNC’s impressive progress on free speech and civil discourse on campus. Already, UNC has among the best protections for free speech in the nation, including strong statements on free expression and institutional neutrality. The new school further demonstrates Carolina’s commitment to these civic ideals and democratic norms.---

Free speech is critical to a nations success. Why would it be unfairly limited or require more to be given?

Free speech is free speech. It shouldn't be inhibited.

Most colleges allow free speech that they agree with. Speech that calls all white people bad and Jews must die is fine, but the administrators have no issue with the student body and professors shutting down any Conservative voice on campus that has the audacity to speak.

It is basically a minor in civics with some debate stuff thrown in.

My oldest just started his second year at UNC-CH. He has never said one thing or the other about any of that stuff other than that one group or the other is always upset about something. He doesn't hang around campus too much other than between classes. He usually hangs out at Duke with his "just a friend"

Giving them more free speech rights or allowing them to be subjected to more free speech?

Wha'cha mean? They allowed members of parliament cheer a former murder camp nazi and treat him as a hero of WW II. You can't get much more "freedom of speechy" than that.

Let the free speech Ivy Leagues burn themselves. Here is an opportunity for other schools to pick up the slack and create cultures of Accountability.

I thought universities were finally fixing the mistakes they made in the sixties and seventies. I guess not.
