-====The alt is a counter-factually framed resolution: In 1954, following the Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education, public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected free speech.==== |

-====To clarify, this counter-factual resolution requires our roleplaying from the time period of 1954 following the Supreme Court decision in Brown V Board which ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.==== |

|
-====This historical moment is key to understanding our contemporary debates over campus and constitutionally protected speech because they are tied to tensions that emerge from a history of the segregation and authorized forms of violence post-desegregation that have occurred within public university campuses. So the contemporary debate is best understood as a question of how public universities should seek to rectify a segregationist history.==== |

|
-====B. Functional Competition. It's a question of competing methods as starting points for the debate. The AFF has engaged in a factual, future oriented interpretation and the NEG proposes a counter-factual interpretation of the resolution as the starting point of debate. These are mutually exclusive because they are two different stasis points, you must choose one over the other. Even if it was possible to choose both, this would create a tradeoff that undermines the rigor of the counterfactual analysis. Interrogating knowledge production is important, so we should endorse norms that allow negs to engage in making disadvantages to bad forms of knowledge production, like allowing the neg to win by defending links to the k and an alternative method. If you don't allow the neg to indict bad forms of knowledge production it disincentives these types of positions because the aff will always be able to generate a perm that smothers the discussion without actually engaging in the alternative, rather trying to slide past the links by making as many permutations as time allows that don't actually involve a defense of their method.==== |

-====C. It competes through net benefits. The internal net benefit is that by necessitating use of non-ideal theory, clash under the alternative requires that we interrogate whiteness. Our alternative is a counterfactual and counterfactuals reveal contentions of whiteness. ==== |
