1- Ideal Theory K
Tournament: Golden Desert | Round: 3 | Opponent: Oakwood Secondary School - North Hollywood AO | Judge: Donald Fagan The affs approach to answering the question of “ought” presumes access that the black thinker does not have – The world is framed by white supremacy, and black ethical deliberation is censored in favor of abstract white philosophy. Curry ’13, (Curry, Tommy J. doctor in Associate Professor of Philosophy, Affiliated Professor of Africana Studies, Texas A and M University In the Fiat of Dreams: The Delusional Allure of Hope, the Reality of Anti-Black Violence and the Demands of the Anti-Ethical. 2013.FT) Ought implies a…idea of ethics. The black thinker cannot ought to do something under a veil of morality given to use by the world framed by white supremacy. Morality is contingent upon black demise, so when we say we value morality, we are valuing a system of morality constituted by European anthropology that needs black death in order to survive. Their starting point cannot include our concerns. Ideal theory is a tool of exclusion by white academia. Mills: Mills, Charles Caribbean philosopher from Jamaica. He is known for his work in social and political philosophy, particularly in oppositional political theory as centered on class, gender, and race “Ideal Theory as Ideology” Hypatia, Volume 20 (Number 3). Summer 2005. FT Finally, consider the …the status quo.
The alternative is an anti-ethical paradigm - this situates normativity on a focus towards material lived experiences - vote neg to reject the colorblind mindset of the 1AC that only re-entrenches domination. Dr. Tommy J. Curry 13, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Texas AandM, "In the Fiat of Dreams: The Delusional Allure of Hope, the Reality of Anti-Black Violence and the Demands of the Anti-Ethical", 2013 FT Anti-ethics; the …nigger-souls, is totalizing.
The role of the ballot is to vote for the debate who best discursively and methodologically challenges oppression. Each decision made by both debaters and judges matter – they perpetuate the exclusionary nature of debate – accessibility is a multiplier for all other impacts Smith ’13: (Elijah Smith. “A Conversation in Ruins: Race and Black Participation in Lincoln Douglas Debate.” Vbriefly. September 6, 2013FT) At every tournament …students cannot escape.
Performance is not just the aff’s post fiat policy – but the principle by which they engage the resolution.

JAN FEB- Hate Speech DA
Tournament: CPS | Round: 2 | Opponent: BASIS Independent EK | Judge: Salim Damerdji Current protections against hate speech are working – on campus harrassment is decreasing nationally now. Sutton 16 Sutton 16 Halley Sutton, Report shows crime on campus down across the country, Campus Security Report 13.4 (2016), 9/9/16,http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/casr.30185/fullLADI
The aff’s trivialization of hate speech undermines our project against systemic racism and oppression as a whole. EVEN if you grant them their silencing impacts – that silencing is KEY to create a cultural shift. Watterson 91 (Kim M. Watterson, 'THE POWER OF WORDS: THE POWER OF ADVOCACY CHALLENGING THE POWER OF HATE SPEECH', 1991 by the University of Pittsburgh Law Review; Kim M. Watterson, 52 U. Pitt. L. Rev. 955 University of Pittsburgh Law Review Summer, 1991, JL)
Second, hate speech…will be strengthened.
It’s try or die for speech restrictions – leaving racism unaddressed will only make things worse, a proactive approach is key to solve. Garcia 10 (Garcia, Edelmira. "Perpetuating Racism Through The Freedom Of Speech." Center on Democracy in a Multiracial Society. Ch. 5. Pg. 79. 2010. Web.

JAN FEB- Hate Speech PIC
Tournament: CPS | Round: 2 | Opponent: BASIS Independent EK | Judge: Salim Damerdji Counterplan text: Public colleges and universities ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech except for hate speech. Lawrence bracketed is the solvency advocate Charles R. Lawrence III, “Crossburning and the Sound of Silence: Antisubordination Theory and the First Amendment,” 1992, http://digitalcommons.law.villanova.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2784andcontext=vlr
But there is…masters and slaves.
Competition: the counterplan competes both textually and functionally—you don’t restrict any speech, we restrict hate speech.
Net Benefits: Hate speech poses a direct threat to the oppressed. Banning it is necessary to promote inclusiveness. Jared Taylor summarizes Waldron, 12, Why We Should Ban “Hate Speech”, American Renaissance, summarizing Jeremy Waldron, The Harm in Hate Speech, Harvard University Press, 2012, 292 pp., 26.95. 8/24/12, http://www.amren.com/features/2012/08/why-we-should-ban-hate-speech/Note – Taylor does not agree with but is summarizing Waldron’s position
First-Amendment guarantees …drive out minorities.
Courts check—things like context solves for crowding out speech that’s productive to solve structural violence Arthur 11 (Joyce, Founder and Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, a national political pro-choice group, “The Limits of Free Speech,” Sep 21, 2011, https://rewire.news/article/2011/09/21/limits-free-speech-5/)

JAN FEB- Heg Good K
Tournament: VBT | Round: 1 | Opponent: West Ranch JW | Judge: Abbey Chapman The Aff has committed treason—at the top of the case, they have blatantly mocked what our soldiers do to protect our freedom and country. Their discourse not only contributes the injury and death of soldiers overseas, it also emboldens our enemies abroad by weakening American resolve. Their irresponsible criticism of our soldiers means the aff has blood on their hands.

Eyago 5
I am angry… is completely unconscionable.
Challenging the military’s supposed “ideological stronghold” on the military is EXACTLY the problem—distancing the academy from the military renders the military a pure abstraction in the eyes of academic elites. We must recognize that the US military is a force for good, and our soldiers truly protect freedom here and abroad.

Wright 15
Even if there …than he intended.
The role of the ballot is to facilitate civil-military relations. We could have had a productive debate about free speech, but the aff didn’t need to take shots at our soldiers—anti-soldier rhetoric is antithetical to debate’s educational potential. Debate should be a site of contestation against oppression, but that shouldn’t come at the expense of debaters who might one day enlist

JAN FEB- Kant NC
Tournament: Golden Desert | Round: 3 | Opponent: Oakwood Secondary School - North Hollywood AO | Judge: Donald Fagan I value morality. To value any end, I must value the conditions necessary to will that end – independence is one of those conditions, since end-setting requires I be free from another’s control. Willing means I hold myself to be able to fulfill that end, which requires freedom. There can be no objection to deny another’s freedom since they possess the same right and that would deny my worth – resolving disputes via unilateral coercion is a contradiction. Korsgaard: Christine M. Korsgaard “Taking the Law into Our Own Hands: Kant on the Right to Revolution” Oxford University Press. 2008 Suppose we are…some lawful way.
Thus we must have an omnilateral will since it’s a contradiction by willing a world where the will is denied or clashing without resolution. All claims are provisional until brought under public right – only reciprocal coercion is consistent with freedom. Korsgaard 2: Christine M. Korsgaard “Taking the Law into Our Own Hands: Kant on the Right to Revolution” Oxford University Press. 2008 Now, with respect..a civil constitution. (MPJ 6:256)
The government can limit private speech – nuisances are a violation of the state’s obligation to provide public spaces. Ripstein 09 Arthur Ripstein, “Force and Freedom”. Harvard University Press, 2009 BWSWJ Blocking a road…use public spaces.
Thus the standard is consistency with the omnilateral will.

Broad societal views of violence pave over the severity of stalking. College women have no reassurance in school or state institutions, so this violence goes unheard. Rennison and Addington 4:

The claim that free speech leads to democratic debate and social progress is a neoliberal myth – the AFF’s faith in the free exchange of ideas displaces a focus on direct action and re-entrenches multiple forms of oppression. Instead, the alternative is to reject the AFF’s neoliberal framing of speech and direct pedagogy to focus on direct action against oppression.

The AFF’s assumption of a property right to free speech assumes an overly idealistic notion of society that ignores economic barriers and is a product of the neoliberal myth that individuality should be protected at all costs.
