FRAMEWORK

First, structural violence excludes certain individuals from the moral sphere, meaning it's impossible to create a coherent moral code without resolving issues of structural violence,

Winter and Leighton :
_{Finally, to recognize the operation of structural violence forces us to ask questions about how and why we tolerate it… and begin to think about how to reduce structural violence. Therefore, the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best challenges oppression.}

Offense

Contention 1: Oppression

Free speech the most important tool in the fight against oppression. It allows us to identify racists so that we can persuade them otherwise; this solves the root cause of oppression-the oppressors mindset.

ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), "Hate Speech on Campus," 2016.  
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. 

Impact:

A~ Restrictions on free speech just turn outspoken bigots into closeted ones, draining support from protest movements because the problem is buried under speech codes, and as a result less visible to the public.

B~ The right to free speech forms the basis for other rights, like those of press, protest, and assembly, which are essential to fight oppression. There's no guarantee that the legal precedent of letting private entities, colleges, cherry-pick when rights are and aren't protected will not be applied in other cases, and to historically marginalized groups, leading to a slippery slope of rights violations.

ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), "Freedom of Expression," ACLU Position Paper, 2016.  
The ACLU has often been at the center of controversy for defending the free speech
AND
used. Threatening phone calls, for example, are not constitutionally protected.

By refusing to affirm the right to free speech, voting negative refuses the idea of liberty- the ability of one to freely speak their mind.

liberty is one of the most valuable impact to protect- it is a prereq to solving all MPX in round

Petro 74 ~ Sylvester, professor of law, Wake Forest University, Spring 1974, TOLEDO LAW REVIEW, p. 480.~
However, one may still insist, echoing Ernest Hemingway – "I believe in only one thing: liberty." And it is always well to bear in mind David Hume's observation: "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." Thus, it is unacceptable to say that the invasion of one aspect of freedom is of no import because there have been invasions of so many other aspects. That road leads to chaos, tyranny, despotism, and the end of all human aspiration. Ask Solzhenitsyn. Ask Milovan Djilas. In sum, if one believes in freedom as a supreme value, and the proper ordering principle for any society aiming to maximize spiritual and material welfare, then every invasion of freedom must be emphatically identified and resisted with undying spirit.

Contention 2: Critical thinking

College is a unique space in order to have discussion and education- space for expression and such 

Free speech restrictions prevent colleges from doing what they were made to do: namely, to educate tomorrow's innovators, leaders, and activists.

Bentley, Eric D., "Fair Play?" Inside Higher Ed, February 4, 2016.
The Gallup survey also investigated the extent to which students feel comfortable articulating their opinions
AND
you refuse to engage with the claims and evidence advanced by its critics?

Impact:

A~ Limiting the range of relevant opinions precludes our ability to think critically about complex issues in the world. Professors are in a unique position of power to influence thought toward breaking up echo chambers that contribute to widening gaps in political opinion, which polarize politics to the point of deadlock and an inability to face the facts.

B~ The chilling effect on free speech proved by the Gallup poll further dismantles the free marketplace of ideas, which reduces innovation and intellectual discovery, controlling the internal link to stopping hate speech: the only way that activists have galvanized support for anti-oppressive agendas is through free speech; Critical thinking is key to challenging mainstream opinions, which historically have never been neutral or fair. that's how we've been able to determine what's offensive and what's not. Negating stops activism in its tracks.

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

amounts only to its immunity to punishment, not its protection from criticism.

And, the state is inevitable – refusal to engage in traditional state-based politics cedes the political sphere to authoritarian elites and abdicates social responsibility – that makes all crises inevitable.

And, empirics prove that banning bigoted speech or acts doesn't work.
