College has almost become the opposite of what it’s supposed to be.

Fear the future: College students’ views on free speech are … rather worrisome

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents recently passed an academic freedom and free speech resolution, but many are still — amazingly, really — contemplating just what it means.

Others are just plain unhappy about it.

Students who participated in a “Black Out March” in early November held a silent protest against the resolution at the December meeting where it was passed.

Kenneth Cole, one of the organizers of the march, said the resolution “seemed to directly condone offensive speech that protesters allegedly heard during the march.”

“In the [resolution], it’s OK for students to … say hate speech or discriminatory speech that might be offensive or not conducive to an open and inclusive learning environment for everybody,” he said.

Cole is merely echoing what UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank had stated in a November email: “[N]obody is entitled to express their opinions in ways that diminish others” or “devalues the presence of anyone that is part of our Badger community.”

Associated Students of Madison Chair Madison Laning feels similarly: “When you start attacking someone’s identity or something a person cannot change, there can be a line drawn,” she says.

But, she claims she doesn’t want colleges “policing speech;” instead, she advocates — wait for it! — “more campus programs”:

“[…] incoming freshmen, many of whom come from racially homogeneous, rural areas, should be required to undergo a cultural competency program before arriving at orientation.”

“Required.” Of course.
