Students Say Diversity Is More Important Than Free Speech
Posted by BenderIsGreat on 3/12/18 at 8:41 am123
Inside Higher Ed Article
quote:
College students value a diverse and inclusive environment more than free speech rights, according to a new study on student attitudes on free expression.
The report from Gallup and the Knight Foundation comes at a turbulent time on college campuses nationwide, where students have challenged the principles of the First Amendment -- they have called for controversial campus speakers to be disinvited, and when they disagree with speakers’ message, have shouted them down. They’ve also called for administrators to invest more in diversity initiatives and are demanding clear statements from them against speech they deem hateful.
quote:
But what was most striking to Brandon Busteed, executive director of Gallup’s higher education division, was how much students appeared to be critical of social media, despite its proliferation in their lives.
Roughly 57 percent of students thought that debate on political and social issues took place online rather than in person at their colleges (43 percent).
Despite the popularity of online platforms, though, students reported social media tended to stifle free speech in many ways. About 60 percent of students indicated that too many people block others online with whom they disagree -- this is up 12 percentage points from 2016.
About 59 percent of students said people feared being attacked online for their views, an uptick of 10 percentage points from 2016. And 83 percent of students said that it is too easy for anonymous users to post online.

We'll all be oppressed, but at least there will be a pretty spectrum of colors to look at.

I hate my generation. Wait until 60% of these students graduate and actually start working for private companies. They'll see how idiotic they sound and will begin to lean right.
The other 40% will get jobs at a university and 30% of those will continue their liberal thought processes.

I block liberals and I don’t spout my opinion on Twitter because of liberals. You want to fix everything? Remove liberals.

Well it's a good thing we have constitutional rights.

I bet you unironically call people snowflakes who need safe spaces too.

Yep, that breakdown is perfect. Democrats do not value freedom.
Again, shocking.

That's the generally accepted theory. However, more and more companies are leaning left to appeal to these pussies. Their incentive to change is declining.

And this is why we shouldn’t let “students” create policy.
These Universities are by and large incubators of this progressive-commie disease because it can’t survive on its own in the real world.

I am all for diversity, but free speech is a constitutional right.

When has anyone every benefited from diversity, other than the person who got hired because of their skin color? Seriously. What does it do?

I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era

Progressives are so very racist that they reject the very reasoning behind “diversity” to focus solely on the skin color.

MUH HATE SPEECH
re: Students Say Diversity Is More Important Than Free SpeechPosted by JasonMason on 3/12/18 at 8:54 am to BenderIsGreat
So can we say enough for the "listen to the kids" crap. Listen all you want, but they demonstrate with stuff like this they shouldn't be taken seriously.

I suppose it's their right to say that.

So, people with darker pigment have different viewpoints and opinions? Strange.
