Citing vague wording and the possible threat to freedom of expression, Law School students criticized a proposed ban on "hate speech" during a public meeting yesterday.
Sports Editor's Note: This Crimson Sports Cube Classic appeared in the January 24 issue of the Crimson. It is, to this day, the consummate expression of a Sports Editor' angst.
The third commentary to the guideline adds that "though appropriately broad on a university campus, the right of free expression does not encompass a right to engage in abusive or intimidating conduct..."
In the draft, committee members wrote that "the right of free expression does not encompass a right to engage in abusive or intimidating conduct." The proposal prohibits speech that a "reasonable person" would find "physically intimidating" or "creating...a seriously offensive working or educational environment at Harvard Law School."
The editorial is also wrong in its characterization of the protest as "half-hearted." The devotion by busy students of two weekend days to the active expression of their grievance and an attempt to educate their parents and peers seems far from half-hearted.
