WikiLab Assignment #1
editLet's Ban Anti-Banning.
In a painfully ironic turn of events, students at the London School of Economics have set out to ban The LSESU Speakeasy Society, which was set up in order to fight for free speech in universities, and well, against the banning of student groups. It is without question that free speech is a hot topic right now among the younger generation, with some universities even banning speakers such as Milo Yiannopoulos and Julie Bindel out of fear that they may 'incite hate' or, God forbid, offend someone. Freedom of speech and expression is, in my opinion, one of the most valuable and important parts of our society, the right to challenge ideas, the right to speak your mind freely, and of course, the right to be offended are what we should be defending and fighting for, not censorship and silence.
Comments on Wiki Assignment #1
editReally interesting article! I didn't even know things like that were happening in uni's, especially places like LSE which is supposed to be very open and liberal. A very current issue too, with the current Scottish Govt. recent proposals to change the way uni's make decisions [1]; which were thankfully amended in favour of our universities! Free speech is a right and you would think that in this day and age we wouldn't have to fight for it. Keep up the good work :) Lyndzcmedia (talk) 10:56, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
