Now what distinguishes... the social order.

Trust your basic intuition that oppression is bad. An assumption otherwise makes debate unsafe.

Standard: minimizing oppression

The debate space is uniquely key to promote change.

Debate is a rigged game to protect oppressive power structures-your enforcement of rules feeds into this mode of thought.

PLAN TEXT: AFF actors should remove all restrictions on constitutionally protected free speech, and ban the usage of all hate speech, including hate speech not protected by the First Amendment. 

1. Hate speech causes violence
   Unrestricted free speech perpetuates hate speech and invites violence
   Arthur 12. Joyce. Founder of FIRST, Activist, Author, Journalist. “Should Hate Speech be a Crime?” New Internationalist Magazine.
   Hate speech is...criminalizing hate speech.

Hate speech leads to a genocidal increase in crimes against marginalized groups.  
Greenblatt 15 Jonathan Greenblatt, When Hateful Speech Leads to Hate Crimes: Taking Bigotry Out of the Immigration Debate, Huffington Post, 8/21/15, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-greenblatt/when-hateful-speech-leads_b_8022966.html LADI
The words used...the ball rolling.

2. Hate speech excludes oppressed groups
Hate speech poses a direct threat to the oppressed. Banning it is necessary to promote inclusiveness.
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...drive out minorities.

Hate speech causes minority students to drop out. speech is not something that happens in a vacuum, it has consequences. causing fear (with words) affects someone’s ability to set their own ends. if minority students are frequently victims of hate speech, that causes undue fear and impedes on their ability to set their own ends.
