In our university’s policy book, we have a statement that we respect free speech laws and that students should learn to tolerate uncomfortable and unpleasant speech. Even “abhorrent speech, including manifestations of racism and sexism” must be tolerated, the policy says.
But then a few paragraphs down we are informed that expressions of “racism, sexism, ableism, classism, heterosexism, homophobia” and so on will be severely punished.
The administration is refusing to clarify which part of the policy is correct, even though we are in the midst of a lawsuit filed by a student whom the faculty persecuted for expressing her beliefs.
