What issues stand out about free speech or assembly to you? by Kathryn Smith https://padlet.com/kathrynesmith1/lf7yalymy1gd35jx TO SPEAK OR NOT TO SPEAK APPLICATION ACTIVITY en-us 2020-11-10 05:09:59 UTC 2020-11-16 00:20:12 UTC hello@padlet.com I feel like its a two prong issue: the issue of silencing speakers coming on campus who are looking to have a reflective and open conversation/dialogue vs. the second issue of not allowing safe spaces on the University of Chicago's campus. I go back and forth in my perspective of not wanting to coddle students and allow college to be a growing opportunity, however, we don't know the journey that students have been on and trigger warnings and safe spaces are important. https://padlet.com/kathrynesmith1/lf7yalymy1gd35jx/wish/920727620 2020-11-13 16:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynesmith1/lf7yalymy1gd35jx/wish/920727620 I feel like the issue of free speech is firstly an important conversation to have. The biggest thing to consider is the balance between allowing free speech to happen and protecting the safety of individuals involved with assembly. It's important for discourse to happen and it's important for all voices to be heard. https://padlet.com/kathrynesmith1/lf7yalymy1gd35jx/wish/925353974 2020-11-16 00:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynesmith1/lf7yalymy1gd35jx/wish/925353974
