Campus Free Speech Quotes

“Whether public or private, universities should permit members of their communities to say things that are disturbing, jarring, horrifying, enraging, scary, or disruptive. The best response to errors, and to offensive or horrifying speech, is more speech, not punishment. Universities exist to promote learning. They are an arsenal of democracy.

Let freedom ring—on public streets, in public parks, and on campus.”
