Excepting Expulsion of the SAE Students at the University of Oklahoma

I think it is possible to protect free speech while disciplining discriminatory speech on school campuses. In fact, I think drawing a distinction between free speech and discriminatory speech on school campuses might even serve the interests of the former, for indeed, our language itself is structurally unfair. It arms those in power with words that by their utterance can inflame, silence and intimidate. By disallowing the use of such words in the presence of developing minds, we can allow those students who are most at risk of forever being hardened and silenced by such speech to think and speak as freely as those who are determined to keep them suppressed. \ No newline at end of file
