How Campus Censors Squelch Freedom of Speech

In this book they use an expample of a white male that is trying to post a flyer on a buliten board showing that a writter is coming and the name of the publication. Some students found it offensive and treatened to call the campus security. So the man left but someone did call and he was reported to spreading racailly offensive materials. The campus police did get the man for disruption all because some people felt that it was not exceptable to have that title published on a paper. Was he wrong? All he did was try to publisize that a writter was coming to campus to discuse her writting. But all because of the title people sought out to make sure that he was punished. Some students argued that because the school gives the student body power to veto anything that is shown to the public that what happened to the man was exceptable and that no one was in the wrong. This school is not the only one that punishes students for speech that they disaprove of. Although the amount of students punished for speech that people may find offensive or inapropriate has dramaticly declined over the years it is still something that happens very often on the campus. However campus censorship is still alive and well and is often justified under the sexual harrasment rules. But if the censorship was kept completely in the hands of the student then chaos would break out. So in many ways it is best that there is some backbone to what students can write and publish. They help to lower the amount of people hurt by what is published on campus and that others can see. Some take it as far as expelling the student or pressing charges if the publication is bad enough to warent it.
