Framing
V: Morality
VC: Minimizing oppression
We have an ethical obligation to stop oppression because it devalues other human beings
Cudd’98- Ann E. Cudd is the dean of college arts and sciences at Boston University. (Ann E. Cudd. “Strikes, Housework, and the Moral Obligation to Resist”. 1998. 24 January 2017)
Is resistance ever morally required? If so, then should we hold blameworthy at least some of those victims of oppression who don‟t choose resistance? For example, we might agree with the judgment of the strikers who call those who cross picket lines and continue to work “scabs.” Whether we actually want to apply social sanctions to persons who fail to resist is another separate moral issue, and one that I will avoid in this paper. But one must not therefore shrink from an honest assessment of the full causal and moral situation.

Util is impossible if a certain minority is valued and not equal to others. AC impacts come first since free speech is the gateway to every impact.
Heard’97- Andrew Heard is (Andrew Heard. “Human Rights: Chimeras in Sheep’s Clothing: The Challenges of Utilitarianism and Relativism”. 1997. 2017)
Utilitarian challenges to the enjoyment of human rights need not occur only in such extraordinary circumstances. Imprisonment may be justified because there is thought to be a greater good for society that an individual be completely denied their freedom of movement and locked away. Utilitarian calculations may also resolve disputes that arise with conflicts between different rights or the enjoyment of the same right by different individuals. The decision faced by any government to balance the needs of health care, education, welfare payments, and the justice system leads to tough choices about the relative proportion of the state's budget that should be dedicated to each social program. The distribution of state resources among these services will in the end depend on the government's perception of the greatest good provided for that society. Also, even within one area of spending the government will have to decide on distributing the benefits in a particular way. For instance, there may be a need to balance expensive hospital equipment, such as CAT scanners, against paying for nurses and hospital beds for patients undergoing general surgery. In the education system, governments need to balance the amount spent on primary, secondary, vocational, and higher learning. Different societies distribute their resources according their vision of the greatest good arising from the particular needs of that society. One can respond in various ways to these challenges that utilitarianism pose to human rights. A simple way would be just to assert human rights provide a guide to how societies must try and re-order their priorities. The very real possibility exists that societies will differ on just what benefits their citizens should enjoy in order to enhance the greatest happiness.
There is a history of exclusion of dialogue from minority groups - the judge must act as an ethical actor and prefer our framework
Cohen and Zelnik’02
What is lacking in these scholarly discussions is an adequate understanding of the larger context of the Black Freedom Struggle of the local as well as the national level. Building upon that understanding, Savio, like so many of his comrades came to see the revolutionary nature of black freedom claims.
AND Racism is a decision rule, value racism as the greatest impact in the round as a just society must be a society accepted by all
Memmi 2k (Albert, Professor Emeritus of Sociology @ U of Paris, Naiteire, Racism, Translated by Steve Martinot, p. 163-165)
The struggle against racism will be long, difficult, without intermission, without remission, probably never achieved It is an ethical and a practical appeal—indeed, it is a contract, however implicit it might be. In short, the refusal of racism is the condition for all theoretical and practical morality because, in the end, the ethical choice commands the political choice, a just society must be a society accepted by all. If this contractual principle is not accepted, then only conflict, violence, and destruction will be our lot. If it is accepted, we can hope someday to live in peace. True, it is a wager, but the stakes are irresistible.
Plan: Resolved: Public colleges and universities in the United States, ought not restrict constitutionally protected speech. Once completed public colleges and universities should complete institutional reform to a deliberative pedagogy.
Substance
The current way institutions work has created a chilling effect on free speech, this has allowed for restrictions on a necessary human right.
Stanley’16- John Stanley is a professor of philosophy at Yale University. (John Stanley. “The Fallacy of Free Speech”. 2016. January 21, 2017)
On February 3, Jasbir Puar presented a paper at Vassar College critiquing Israeli policy toward Palestinians. Puar, an associate professor of women and gender studies at Rutgers University, is an influential intellectual. Her 2007 book, Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times, has been cited over 1,700 times, a level of impact few academics achieve in a lifetime. Puar is controversial. She is also an agenda-setting scholar: Her lecture was sponsored by eight different departments. On February 17, The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed about Puar’s lecture, titled "Majoring in Anti-Semitism at Vassar." It was written by Mark G. Yudof, former president of the University of California, and Ken Waltzer, professor emeritus of history at Michigan State University. The article attributes to Puar the claim that Israel allows Palestinians only the bare minimum needed to survive, and that Israel mines the organs of dead Palestinians for scientific research, evidence used to accuse her of reviving the "blood libel" against Jews. The authors conclude by urging "faculty and administrators … to confront this wave of anti-Semitism with the primary tools at their disposal: free speech and rigorous academic inquiry. This is what a university is for, after all." A central purpose of the university is to allow disputes about significant moral and political issues to take place in the classroom instead of on the battlefield. Free speech is essential to that mission Haidt, a founder of the Heterodox Academy, describes "left-leaning" institutions as are"cut off" from the moral vocabulary required to defend freedom of speech, and led by social-justice concerns that chill free speech.
Free Speech is necessary to challenge institutions. The impact of restricting free speech is racism and oppression.  
Zimmerman’16- Jonathan Zimmerman is a professor of the history of education at the University of Pennsylvania. (Jonathan Zimmerman. “Racism Was Served by Silence. Justice Requires Free Speech for All”. 2016. January 21, 2017)
In 1986, the Senate Judiciary Committee turned down Jeff Sessions for a federal judgeship after reports surfaced that he had called the NAACP "un-American" and "Communist-inspired." That decision is back in the news now that President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Sessions to be U.S. attorney general. His remark recalls the long history of racist hostility against the NAACP, which was harassed and persecuted across the South. Law-enforcement officials spied on its members, and at least three states — including Sessions’s native Alabama — prohibited the group from organizing within their borders. But Sessions’s comment should also make us look anew at campaigns to restrict speech on campus, which have been stepped up since Trump’s victory. A few days after the election, for example, students at my own institution asked for an "anonymous system" for reporting faculty members who made people of color feel "unsafe." But nobody has a right to limit someone else’s speech, via institutional prohibitions or star chambers or anything else. That’s precisely what white America tried to do to the NAACP and other African-Americans. We insult their memories when we silence one another in the name of racial justice, which will never be served by the restriction of free speech.
a. Racism justifies infinite violence meaning structural violence that causes death
Famer’04 – Paul Farmer is an American Anthropologist and Physician. (Paul Farmer. “An Anthropology of Structural Violence”. 2004. 26 January 2017)
By “materialist” I do not mean “economic” as if economic structures were not socially constructed. I do not mean “biological” as if biology were likewise somehow immune from social construction. I am not trying to establish a bedrock category of reality or engage wornout or false debates—for example, trying to persuade oldschool materialists that social life matters or to convince hard-line culturalists that the material (from the corporeal to modes of economic production) is the very stuff of social construction. To push the metaphor, any social project requires construction materials, while the building process is itself inevitably social and thus cultural. The adverse outcomes associated with structural violence—death, injury, illness, subjugation, stigmatization, and even psychological terror—come to have their “final common pathway” in the material.
a. Suppressing Free Speech results in oppression- this is a disadvantage to any Neg position
Hansen’17 – Steve Hansen is a Lodi writer. (Steve Hansen. “Those who suppress free speech will end up victims”. 2017. 25 January 2017.)
Years ago when I was a counselor at Lodi High, a parent came into my office demanding that her son be removed from a biology class. “What’s the problem?” I asked. “They are teaching the theory of evolution in this class,” she said. “I don’t want my kid exposed to that kind of secular nonsense. We are Christians, and we believe in creationism.” It had been a long day. Through the office window, I could see a typical depressing Valley winter. I was not interested in hanging around for a “get-nowhere” debate. So I made this statement and asked the following questions: “It’s obvious you have taken sides on the issue and I commend you for having a valid opinion shared by many.” She realized that respecting different views on an issue are important factors for human understanding and unity. Otherwise, people simply spin their wheels in hatred and isolation, which only have the effect of hardening preconceived ideologies. In the end, impermeable constructs of human thought generally remain stagnant and ultimately change nothing.
Currently a marketplace of ideas exists in college and free speech is an necessary part of its functioning.
Golding’00- Martin Phillip Golding is an author on discourse. (Martin Phillip Golding. Free Speech on Campus. 2000. 27 January 2017)
Colleges and universities vary in many ways: some are public, others are private; some are denominational, others are not; some have professional schools, others do not; some have big-time athletic programs, others do not. Furthermore, some emphasize research and others, especially four-year colleges and junior colleges, emphasize teaching. They also differ in their academic offerings: some emphasize the sciences and other feature the humanities with extensive program options. While we should celebrate this variety, these differences do not diminish the importance of campus free speech.  
Restricting free speech causes discrimination and inequality on campus
Parker’15- Dennis Parker is a writer for the ACLU. (Dennis Parker. “Racial Justice and Free Speech Are Not Mutually Exclusive”. 2013. 27 January 2017.)
The recent wave of college demonstrations starting at the University of Missouri and Yale and spreading to Ithaca and other campuses across the nation have sparked outraged commentary. The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed called “Yale’s Little Robespierres,” and in National Review, David French described campus protestors as “revolutionaries, and the revolution they seek is nothing less than the overthrow of our constitutional republic, beginning with our universities.” Largely missing from the outcry has been a discussion of the underlying issues that prompted the demonstrations in the first place It would be tragic if the current discussion of the demonstrations failed to include a discussion of the underlying issues of discrimination and exclusion which remain rampant in our country.
Deliberative Pedagogy(:55)
A Deliberative Pedagogy shows student engagement and development
Doherty’12- Joni Doherty is the director of the New England Center for Civic Life and teaches in the American Studies program at Franklin Pierce University. (Joni Doherty. “Deliberative Pedagogy: An Education that Matters”. 2012. 10 January 2017)
Deliberation is a set of practices that foster the conditions needed to understand and address these kinds of dilemmas. The primary goal isn’t civic education per se, but for students to develop the commitment, knowledge, and skills necessary for creating and maintaining equitable, diverse, and democratic spaces, whether it be in the local community, the workplace, the nation, or the world.
AC Does not claim that Deliberative Pedagogy is completely perfect, just that it’s good idea and a great first step to create change
Longo’13- Nicholas V. Longo is a professor at Providence College who completes studies in public and community service studies. (Nicholas V. Longo. “Deliberative Pedagogy in the Community: Connecting Deliberative Dialogue, Community Engagement, and Democratic Education”. 2013. 10 January 2017.)
The efficacy of public deliberation at resolving complex issues has led to its elements being incorporated into domains beyond the public policy or political sphere. It moves the academy from the more traditional “teaching-to-learning” dynamic toward a model of “collaborative engagement” in which knowledge is more genuinely co-created through reflective public action.
Free expression is key to civil rights for racial minorities, women, and LGBT folks – it leads to other rights like equal education
Harris and Ray 14 Vincent T Harris has an M. Ed. degree and is a doctoral student @ LSU, Darrell C. Ray is a prof @ LSU, HATE SPEECH and THE COLLEGE CAMPUS: CONSIDERATIONS FOR ENTRY LEVEL STUDENT AFFAIRS PRACTITIONERS, Race, Gender and Class 21.1/2 (2014): 185-194. ProQuest. Premier

Down and Cowan (2012) note that Americans who notice the importance of free expression believe, it benefits more than just the oppressor, but aids in the advancement of the minority group. This advancement has granted many minority groups the ability to experience various prohibited privileges such as, the right to attain an equal education.
