Framing

The role of the ballot is challenging capitalism in educational spaces – it has seeped into educational sites and has corrupted our epistemology, means K is a prior question.

Giroux '08. (Henry A, Global Network Television Chair in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, and Susan S, Associate Professor of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, "Education After Neoliberalism", December 31 2008, http://www.truth-out.org/archive/component/k2/item/81781:education-after-neoliberalism,

The university has become the cornerstone of production, where research and learning has become more and more focused on using students as capital for knowledge economies and mass capitalist globalization.

It is not hard to make the leap from informatization and the postmodernization of production
AND
tertiary education and the emergence of a global market for advanced human capital.

This is true because capitalism structures academic freedom- legal shift doesn't change the root cause of neoliberal epistemology all throughout the academy.

Impacts

Commodification of speech makes it meaningless- liberation through "counterspeech" can't be achieved until that speech is reclaimed from the system of capital.

This means a value re-balancing for the university- we have to withdraw from the neoliberal education and define our own education with sociological perspectives.

Sexism is a major problem on Public college and university campuses. Verbal sexual harassment reaffirms society's segregation of the female body and perpetuates the patriarchy. As debaters, it is our duty to combat this societal ideal.

We begin with the claim that free speech leads to democratic debate and social progress which is a myth – the Affirmative's faith in the free exchange of ideas displaces a focus on direct action and re-entrenches multiple forms of oppression.  Instead, we must reject the Affirmative's framing of speech and direct pedagogy to focus on direct action against oppression.

reckon with difference and the way in which we tend to assume sameness.

The Affirmative's representation of hate speech creates a sense of powerlessness for the victims. By refusing to acknowledge suffering, the Affirmative adds to the injury experienced by all forms of oppression.

The Affirmative is a desperate prayer for progress through discourse and reformulation which portrays the future as something amazing and better that we can work toward through discussion and compromise- but it fails to realize that the myth of social progression is used by structures to rewrite history and over look past oppression- talking about issues always fails because oppression exists cyclically operates on a level beyond affective time.

these mechanisms are hidden.

The promise of a future free of racism or the idea that talking to racists about out suffering can solve ideology prevents a full confrontation with temporality as accumulation. There is no relief to come in some mystical future where agonism allows freedom. Only understanding time and violence as accumulation and captivity allows us to understand the existing conditions of oppression and come up with solutions.

Only the alternative has the capacity to change the way violence operates- certain bodies are denied personhood by definition. Legal reformulations and the state's demarcations mean that we need a method to articulate subjectivity and personhood outside of the traditional western order.
