The Importance Of Free Speech Censorship

As American universities and colleges grow their demographics, diversity and ideas there is a continued and an accelerated debate regarding freedom of speech within these higher education institutions. College campuses are struggling to simultaneously provide a learning environment that is inclusive to traditionally unrepresented students while also providing an environment that allows for ideas to be challenged and debated no matter how offensive or controversial.

Emma Watson uses ethos to convince the audience that she is a credible source. Towards the beginning of her speech, Watson explained that her, “girlfriends [dropped]... out of sports…”(1) because appearing muscly would not fit their gender stereotype. Watson mentions her personal experience to make her credible. By mentioning this, people will know why she is familiar with feminism.

Later in her speech, she mentions a speech made by Hillary Clinton in 1997.

Atwood’s speech raised some important issues in the era following a strong feminist push. She was able to find a balance between support for the Women’s Movement whilst criticising it for its excesses.

Brian and Gloria are students at Roger Williams University who share different views on a touchy subject. Brian, a freshman, reached out to Gloria, a senior and chair of CEN, wishing to invite Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at our campus. After doing research on Yiannopoulos, Gloria believes he is “racist and sexist” and goes against everything Roger Williams University stands for. Gloria feels Yiannopoulos would offend many students on campus, possibly leading to violence. She thinks Roger Williams would not allow Yiannopoulos to speak at our campus, so we shouldn’t allow him to either. However, Brian believes Roger Williams University is an “inclusive” campus and we welcome and value all expressions of diversity and identity. Brian says Roger Williams was probably the first American to “challenge societal norms”, and we should follow in his footsteps. Brian feels Gloria is being narrow-minded and he is being denied his right to free speech and peaceful assembly.

Across the nation, there have been frequent protest against conservative organizations and speakers on college campuses.

The approval of the event led to protests that argued that the conservative commentator incited violence and hateful speech. As a UCSB student, I got to hear the complaints that were made against the hosting of Shapiro.

Obviously, we know the speaker is Gail Collins, but it is much more than just a woman. Collins comes out to be the women who lets her feminist side really show through. Gail Collins has written this article through her beliefs of feminism and favoring Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. A strong woman with feminist beliefs was very interested in showing her political views to connect to the fellow feminist who share the same opinions as Collins.

One of the first claims she disputes is the fact that countless men say that women deserve all the care in the world. In her speech the speaker says,” That man

There has been an issue lately about letting people that discriminate against other or are controversial speak at campuses. Some people think it is wrong to not allow these people to speak in campuses while others think it is for the best that do not let them speak. This led to the problem we have today.

Feminism is often seen as a negative word towards women, but it actually represents the gender inequality for both men and women. In 2014, Emma Watson, a twenty-four-year-old British actress, and the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador co-hosted a special event for the UN Women’s HeForShe campaign. Before Watson was a UN Women’s Ambassador, she was known as a strong activist for women’s rights.
