The primary issue identified by the case study is the extent to which free speech can be used and is protected regarding sensitive social aspects and discussions. Free speech is a Constitutional right that should be protected and upheld in the context of higher education by allowing a peaceful expression of opinion from both sides. However, the social context demands that fundamental respect should be given to individuals and their background and while the First Amendment does protect from censorship, it does not endorse the abuse of such privileges. Background Recently, places of higher education are encountering both protest and backlash regarding their inability to address racial tensions. The case describes a Yale University incident where students were notified on how to properly approach racially sensitive topics during Halloween. However, a white lecturer viewed this as an expression of institutional control and censorship, to which students replied by demanding fundamental respect for their cultures. At Missouri University, students began to protest after a lackluster university response to a series of racial taunts and threatening vandalism on campus. In another incident at CUNY, a guest lecturer was harassed and heckled during a presentation simply for his politically conservative views, even if he did not demonstrate any inappropriate or racist behavior or ideology. The incidents often involve undergraduates, especially in law schools, who participate based on passion (Jaschik 2016). Alternatives Many experts, officials, and administrators are citing the necessity to allow public speakers, even if their stance is controversial. The biggest challenge has been to find methods that will prevent disruption and punishing those who do while still allowing peaceful protests of opinion (Jaschik 2016). Some universities began to create alternative solutions such as free speech zones, which placed small zones on campus allowing free expression while the rest of the space was subject to regulation. This alternative failed since it was immediately challenged by organizations as creating a restrictive speech zone in a public area such as a college campus. Furthermore, it was constrained by the fact that even liberal organizations viewed this as unsustainable and not promoting an open society with liberal ideas (Moshman 2018). Alternatives are not possible at this time since many will be legally challenged by either of the sides of the issue as a violation of the 1st Amendment. Proposed Solution A proposed solution would be for the government to adopt a policy that would repeal any unconstitutional bans on free speech on public university campuses or promote administrative regulations that would disrupt these fundamental rights. This solution was chosen because the attempt to limit expression is ultimately wrong. While some of the opinions may be morally wrong, as history demonstrates, society and government may experience change where those standing up for good may be oppressed (American Civil Liberties Union n.d.). Therefore, it is critical to avoid double standards for free speech and promote it to the full letter of the law. The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights protects all speech, regardless of how of
