Yesterday in class we began a discussion about hate speech on college campuses by looking at these images. We then continued our discussion by "virtually attending" a law school seminar about the topic. As we watched the video we took notes by identifying the facts in the scenarios being discussed, responding with our opinions, and then writing what the experts on the panel said. If you missed class yesterday, you should be sure to get notes from a fellow class member.
During the next class period, we'll continue watching the seminar and then reading the article Hate Speech & Campus Speech Codes which must be finished by our the last period that we meet this week.
Note-part of our conversation in first period today discussed questions about how to identify hate speech which brought up the issue of anti-Semitic speech on college campuses. There has been a lot of discussion in the media about antisemitism on college campuses as a result of a few incidents that took place last spring. Here is a thoughtful commentary on the issue for your consideration.
