[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, there's obviously the possibility of establishing a hierarchy of values in which freedom of expression is not the highest.  But then OP would have to explain why showing respect for authority/decorum trumps free speech while creating a racially inclusive environment does not.  [/quote]

It's quite clear that the Yale professors and administrators are working hard to create a racially inclusive environment and one in which both freedom of speech and freedom of expression are honored, and that some of the minority students are trying to prohibit and sanction conduct they choose to deem offensive.

If there are adults in charge at Yale, they have a right and responsibility to educate, which includes removing from campus those students who scream obscenities at professors who, quite frankly, have expressed entirely reasonable points of view, lest the school just become a PC joke where no one is allowed on campus who expresses any point of view that some 18 year old minority student decides makes her feel "uncomfortable." [/quote]Would you think an 18-year old Jewish student, or any age affiliated with the university, would feel uncomfortable or scared with seeing Nazi flags flown or someone dressed as Hitler?  Or is the unreasonableness reserved for certain 18 year old minority students?[/quote]
