<p>Look: just because the government says something, doesn’t mean it’s automatically the right thing to do. Sure, the constitution gives you the right to be a racist misogynist homophobe. Most top schools don’t give you that right. So does that mean these schools should be criticized? Not in my opinion. It’s a pretty simplistic view to say that a school is a worse place because they ban certain types of speech.</p>
<p>If you allow people to spew hateful language - like calling a black person a racial epithet - then you’re essentially saying that you would rather protect the racist person’s right to free speech than protect the black person’s right to not be victimized. Those are some pretty messed up priorities IMO.</p>
