School admins have an obligation to reject hate speech to maintain an educational space  - this is a pre-requisite to the aff being effective.

It is impossible to prevent all extremist speakers from delivering hate speeches on campus.

I'll defend the banning of hate speech and removal of "free speech zones".

Reject arguments that open dialogue will solve the issue because they will never solve the harms and don't provide compensation – restrictions on speech are the only way to rectify hate speech

The promotion of the "marketplace of ideas" converts the political process into an economic one, making speech a commodity, which only strengthens neoliberalism. Brown 15

At times, kennedy raises the pitch in Citizens United to depict limits on corporate

warring forces parallel to those of government and capital in a neoliberal economy.

The affirmative perpetuates an idealized myth that freedom of speech and individualism is good – these assumptions fail to account for the reality of oppression under a capitalist society

Simply constructing a laundry list of atrocities, or morally condemning policies of colleges – such as speech codes misses the point— they misidentify the enemy.

Global capitalism is the 800-pound gorilla. The twin ecological and economic crises

The Affirmative’s framing of structured social problems and presentation of wide-ranging solutions only exists within a play-pretend world. The roleplaying that the 1AC engages in entrenches the idea individuals are powerless to affect reality. This kills agency and recreates violence in our own personal lives.

To answer that, you need to put yourself in the mindset of a Republican
