+And prefer impacts linking back to education and only evaluate the consequences of any given action since features besides outcomes that we might view as morally relevant are impossible to evaluate since they’re always underdetermined by our sense data and thus unknowable. For instance, no amount of experience can let me decide between my intuitions about reality and the possibility that I’m living in the Matrix, so theories about motives, intentions, or other qualities which I might take to be morally relevant are always underdetermined, giving us no guide to moral judgment except observable end states. |

+Contention 1 – Speech Codes Key to Education |
|
21 |
+ |
|
22 |
+Thus I contend that speech codes are necessary for colleges to be consistent with their function to educate. Speech rules are key to having valuable academic discourse – overlooking peer review, academic standards, etc in the name of free speech destroys education. |

+We need restrictions on academic speech for effective education – eg we wouldn’t want a physics professor who claimed that the world was flat or an anthropologist who argued in favor of racism. |
