[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] So his words which were racist epithets and threats of violence fall under your idea that these should be 'free exchange of ideas'? [/quote] Where does it say that he threatened violence? I would not defend that. But, yes, racist speech is free speech and educational institutions that supposedly value the free exchange of ideas should protect it.[/quote] If a Harvard student had intentionally made racial slurs to be as offensive as possible, then he would be reasonably subject to discipline under anti-harassment laws. And for admissions, the racial slurs show his character, which is absolutely fair game for admissions criteria. He was not engaged in an academic discourse. Seriously, do you even hear yourself?
