Liberation through the law is not neutral — using the law as a normative tool for democratic freedom perpetuates oppression.

The role of normativity is of particular importance in leading to such anomalous legal analysis
AND
black/white paradigm that it overlooked issues related to ethnicity and sexuality.

The law is subservient to neocolonialist ideals that justify racialized violence—reform only masks the contradiction that is inherent within the law.

Borders aren't solely physical – they exist in the psychic level as well. By restricting the speech of Latin~x~s, the NEG's re-entrenchment of the borderlands sentences those left behind and forgotten in the borderlands to internalize warfare and suffering.

IF I HAD A LAY ROUND, I MOST LIKELY READ THIS DANK AC.

Framework

Resolved: Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech.

I value morality.

First, to evaluate ethical judgments we must interrogate ontologies of exclusion to filter out ethical biases.

Butler 09. Judith Butler, "Frames of War: When is Life Grievable?" Jan 1st 2009, Pg.138, http://books.google.com/books/about/Frames_of_War.html?id=ga7hAAAAMAAJ
We ask such normative questions as if we know what we mean by the subjects
AND
those subjects who will be eligible for recognition and those who will not.

Morality mandates expression of all voices, which necessarily prohibits structural oppression.

Young 74. Iris Marion Young, Professor in Political Science at the University of Chicago since 2000, masters and doctorate in philosophy in 1974 from Pennsylvania State University. ~"Justice and the Politics of Difference". Princeton University Press, 1990, Digital Copy.~
Group representation, third, encourages the expression of individual  and group needs and
AND
must listen to the voice of those my privilege otherwise tends to silence.

Thus the standard is combatting structural violence.

Prefer consequence-based frameworks:

Only naturalism is epistemically accessible

Papinaeu 11 ~David Papineau, "Naturalism," Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2007~
Moore took this argument to show that moral facts comprise a distinct species of non
AND
it is hard to see how we can have any knowledge of them.

Intentions and states of being are non-falsifiable and can only be informed by hypothetical consequences

Life is a pre-requisite to agency and freedom – that justifies exceptions to hyper-individualist ethics

Experience is epistemic – it is how we empirically ground our existence. Pain is universally bad and pleasure is universally good.

Nagel '86. Thomas ~"The View From Nowhere", 1986~
I shall defend the unsurprising claim that sensory pleasure is good and pain bad,
AND
such cases. There can be no reason to reject the appearances here.

Only consequence-based ethics can drive action – neuroimaging shows it's the most intuitive ethical theory

Greene 07 Professor Joshua Greene of Harvard writes; Greene, J. D. (2007). The secret joke of Kant's soul, in Moral Psychology, Vol. 3: The Neuroscience of Morality: Emotion, Disease, and Development, W. Sinnott-Armstrong, Ed., MIT Press, Cambridge, MA.
To summarize, people's moral judgments appear to be products of at least two different
AND
compared with other primates (Allman, Hakeem, and Watson, 2002).

Advantage 1: Oppression

Free speech eliminates structures of oppression –

It allows us to identify racists so that we can persuade them otherwise; this solves the root cause of oppression.

ACLU 16. American Civil Liberties Union. ~For almost 100 years, the ACLU has worked to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States.~, "Hate Speech on Campus", ACLU, 2016. https://www.aclu.org/other/hate-speech-campus//AD
Many universities, under pressure to respond to the concerns of those who are the
AND
, and changing curricula to institutionalize more inclusive approaches to all subject matter. 

Restrictions on hate speech fail – they'll just repackage the message using a dog-whistle.

Malik 12 (Kenan Malik, I am a writer, lecturer and broadcaster. My latest book is The Quest for a Moral Compass: A Global History of Ethics, "why hate speech should not be banned", April 12, 2012, https://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/why-hate-speech-should-not-be-banned/)
Kenan Malik: I am not sure that 'hate speech' is a particularly useful
AND
ideas illegitimate without bothering politically to challenge them. And that is dangerous.

Spillover effect – challenging oppression in everyday discussions is key to shaping larger cultural landscapes.

Malik 2 (Kenan Malik, I am a writer, lecturer and broadcaster. My latest book is The Quest for a Moral Compass: A Global History of Ethics, "why hate speech should not be banned", April 12, 2012, https://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/why-hate-speech-should-not-be-banned/)
Much of what we call hate speech consists, however, of claims that may
AND
the claim itself, but also on the potential audience for that claim.

This solves – empirics prove you can't eliminate bigotry by banning it.

Malik 3 (Kenan Malik, I am a writer, lecturer and broadcaster. My latest book is The Quest for a Moral Compass: A Global History of Ethics, "why hate speech should not be banned", April 12, 2012, https://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/why-hate-speech-should-not-be-banned/)
And in practice, you cannot reduce or eliminate bigotry simply by banning it.
AND
threshold for liability should not be lowered just because hate speech is involved.

Perceived assault on free speech drives voters to the right wing – that's how Trump got elected president.

Soave 16 (Robby Soave, Associate editor at Reason.com, enjoys writing about college news, education policy, criminal justice reform, and television, "Trump Won Because Leftist Political Correctness Inspired a Terrifying Backlash", Nov. 9, 2016, http://reason.com/blog/2016/11/09/trump-won-because-leftist-political-corr
Trump won because of a cultural issue that flies under the radar and remains stubbornly
AND
according to his supporters, is that he isn't afraid to speak his.

Advantage 2: Sexual Assault

Teachers are dissuaded from teaching rape law due to a culture of fear surrounding political correctness

Fisher 16 (Anthony L. Fisher, Dec 13, 2016, "Opposition to "offensive" speech on campuses will ultimately burn dissidents", http://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/12/13/13931524/free-speech-pen-america-campus-censorship)
PEN America, the literary and human rights association that lists as one of its
AND
even some aspects of Greek mythology, out of an abundance of caution.

Two impacts:

Lack of rape law education hurts survivors of sexual assault – they won't win court cases

Soave 14 (Robby Soave, Dec. 16, 2014, "Profs Have Stopped Teaching Rape Law Now That Everything 'Triggers' Students", http://reason.com/blog/2014/12/16/profs-have-stopped-teaching-rape-law-now)
Students seem more anxious about classroom discussion, and about approaching the law of sexual
AND
stop educating students about rape. That would be a travesty of justice.

Stunts sexual assault activism on campus and reduces awareness of the issue

Baker 15 (Katie J.M. Baker, Apr. 3, 2015, "Teaching Rape Law In The Age Of The Trigger Warning", https://www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/teaching-rape-law-in-the-age-of-the-trigger-warning?utm_term=.par3Gy4V7~~#.gcKwr03L4)
One criminal law professor at the college was so upset that she told the administration
AND
traumatic' has real consequences for classroom intellectual exploration," she said.
 

Advantage 3: Education

A~ Rights Precedent: restrictions on free speech creates a dangerous slippery slope. Universities should not be the arbiters of communication.

*Climate change NC, Sustainability Florida
Fisher 16 (Anthony L. Fisher, Dec 13, 2016, "Opposition to "offensive" speech on campuses will ultimately burn dissidents", http://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/12/13/13931524/free-speech-pen-america-campus-censorship)
In perhaps the most cogent line of the entire report, the authors write:
AND
"safe space" from such "offensive" expressions of free speech.

B~ Free speech prepares students for the real world by reducing academic insulation.

Vivanco 16 (Leonor Vivanco, August 25^th, 2016, "U. of C. tells incoming freshmen it does not support 'trigger warnings' or 'safe spaces'", http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-university-of-chicago-safe-spaces-letter-met-20160825-story.html3
"It is not the proper role of the University to attempt to shield individuals
AND
standards," board Chairman Tom Spurgeon said in a statement at the time.

Three impacts:

Preparation for the real world gives students the tools necessary to fight oppression for life; that outweighs in the long run.

An atmosphere of academic openness is a prerequisite to knowledge.

Jacobson 16 (Daniel Jacobson (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan). "Freedom of Speech under Assault on Campus." Cato Institute. 30 August 2016. https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/freedom-speech-under-assault- campus~#full
Mill held that an atmosphere of intellectual freedom not only cultivates genius but is also
AND
amounts only to its immunity to punishment, not its protection from criticism.

Lack of counter-narratives produce echo-chambers that sustains existing power structures whilst deluding liberals otherwise.

Poem

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn.
At dawn I unite with the breeze
To announce the coming of light;
At eventide I join the birds
In bidding the light farewell.
The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
Is scented with my fragrance.
As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
Night watch over me, and as I
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is
The only eye of the day.
I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.
I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.

Unbeknownst to the Browns the latch on the back gate of their fence had failed, and Immi had wandered into the adjacent parking lot beyond the fence. . . .After three or four minutes of sniffing and casually walking near the fence, Immi approached the sidewalk along the street on which the Browns lived.  As she reached the curb, Officer Eberly was passing in his patrol car.  Seeing Immi, he pulled over, parked across the street, and approached her.  He clapped his hands and called to her.  Immi barked several times and then withdrew, circling around a vehicle in the parking lot that was approximately twenty feet from the curb. Having crossed the street and entered the parking lot, Officer Eberly walked to a position ten to twelve feet from Immi.  Immi was stationary and not growling or barking.  According to the stranger observing from his car, Immi "did not display any aggressive behavior towards ~Officer Eberly~ and never tried to attack him."  At this point, Kim Brown looked out an open, screened window of her house.  She saw Officer Eberly not more than fifty feet away.  He and Immi were facing one another.  Officer Eberly reached for his gun.  Kim screamed as loudly as she could, "That's my dog, don't shoot!" . . . Officer Eberly hesitated a few seconds and then pointed his gun at Immi . . . Kim tried to break through the window's screen and screamed, "No!"  Officer Eberly then fired five shots at Immi.  Immi fell to the ground immediately after the first shot, and Officer Eberly continued firing as she tried to crawl away.
