First, Hate Speech policies have historically been rejected as unconstitutional impositions on the free speech of students.

Weberman, 2010 (Melissa ~Law Clerk in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. J.D. from Emory Law~ "University Hate Speech Policies and the Captive Audience Doctrine." Ohio Northern University Law Review 36 Ohio N.U.L. Rev. 553. 2010. Online. LexisNexis.) READ YELLOW
While universities continue to maintain and even strengthen hate speech policies, n70 they generally
AND
not be rejected as overbroad, as will be demonstrated in Part IV. 

Second, "Free Speech" is not racially neutral, and is part of a broader historical tradition that allows racism to continue virtually unchecked.

Gillborn, 2009 (David ~Professor of Education at the University of London~ "Risk-Free Racism: Whiteness and So-Called 'Free Speech.'" Wake Forest Law Review 44 Wake Forest L. Rev. 535. Summer, 2009. LexisNexis Academic)
"Whiteness at various times signifies and is deployed as identity, status, and
AND
rational and irrational) is determined by, and for, White people.

====Further, Defenses of Free Speech that don't engage with the tangible effects of speech are both overly idealistic, and continue to reify patriarchy and racism.====
Cobb, 2015 (Jelani ~Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut, Staff Writer for The New Yorker~ "Race and the Free-Speech Diversion." The New Yorker. 10 November 2015. Online. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/race-and-the-free-speech-diversion)**
Faculty and students at both Yale and the University of Missouri who spoke to me
AND
, from the look of things, will there be any time soon.

Finally, Student directed resistance to the "free speech" of bigots isn't about censorship, it's about fighting inequality.

Lafargue, 2016 (Ferentz ~Director of the Davis Center at Williams College~. "'Coddled' students and their 'safe spaces' aren't the problem, college official says. Bigots are." The Washington Post. 28 March 2016. Online. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/03/28/coddled-students-and-their-safe-spaces-arent-the-problem-college-official-says-bigots-are/**)**
In the work that I do as a diversity advocate in higher education, I
AND
college campuses, they're learning important lessons about how to fight it everywhere.

Racist hate speech destroys the marketplace of ideas.

Weberman, 2010 (Melissa ~Law Clerk in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. J.D. from Emory Law~ "University Hate Speech Policies and the Captive Audience Doctrine." Ohio Northern University Law Review 36 Ohio N.U.L. Rev. 553. 2010. Online. LexisNexis.)
Since the late 1980s, universities have confronted a growing hate speech problem on their
AND
it, contrary to how the marketplace of ideas is supposed to operate.

Hate speech connects with structures of oppression, harming the groups that it is directed towards.

Weberman, 2010 (Melissa ~Law Clerk in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. J.D. from Emory Law~ "University Hate Speech Policies and the Captive Audience Doctrine." Ohio Northern University Law Review 36 Ohio N.U.L. Rev. 553. 2010. Online. LexisNexis.)
Hate speech harms groups that are the target of the speech. Under the tradition
AND
n39 Hate speech reinforces stereotypes in the public mind that subsequently guide action.

Hate speech harms the individual, denying their right to education.

Weberman, 2010 (Melissa ~Law Clerk in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. J.D. from Emory Law~ "University Hate Speech Policies and the Captive Audience Doctrine." Ohio Northern University Law Review 36 Ohio N.U.L. Rev. 553. 2010. Online. LexisNexis.)
Beyond causing harm to the target groups, hate speech causes harms to the individual
AND
to ensure equal access to education and prevent interference with the educational process.

Hate speech denies targeted groups of the basic rights.

Lee, 2001 (Orville ~Asst. Prof. of Sociology  at the new School~. "Weapons for the Weak? Democratizing the Force of Words in an Uncivil Society." Law and Social Inquiry 26.4 (Autumn, 2001): 847-890. JSTOR.)
Acts of symbolic violence targeting women and racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities,
AND
be trusted to decide speech restrictions without evaluating the expressive content of speech.

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.

Yet there are many critics of the protestors who do not claim Ray Kelly's policies
AND
on: The oppressors or the protestors. The status quo or progress.

We have reached a tipping point – neoliberalism is no longer able to control its spiral into disaster.  Massive structural violence and extinction are inevitable without a fundamental rethinking of the current system.

Farbod 15 ( Faramarz Farbod , PhD Candidate @ Rutgers, Prof @ Moravian College, Monthly Review, http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2015/farbod020615.html, 6-2) LADI
Global capitalism is the 800-pound gorilla. The twin ecological and economic crises
AND
enhancing natural and social systems will soon reach a point of no return. 

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.

In the wake of the Brown University shout-down of Ray Kelly, champion
AND
greater freedom. To the contrary, direct action has always proved necessary. 

A radical pedagogical stance is key – anti-capitalist movements can be effective, but critical consciousness is a necessary prerequisite.

These are the concrete realities of our time—realities that require a vigorous class
AND
memories. Its potential remains untapped and its promise needs to be redeemed.
