It would be exciting to see an opinion war fought in chalk, and it would be inspiring to see the fabric of Harvard life spread itself out across the ground. It’s senseless to choke the channel of communication for the entire Yard to a few square feet of approved poster space.

The right to free speech is one that the United Nations’ Universal declaration of Human Rights affirms in its nineteenth article—that “everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Not only in Pakistan, but also in China, Morocco, Turkey, and elsehere, freedom of speech has been deemed far too dangerous to enshrine...
