Students vs Free Speech

xylopwn [Edit] [Delete] 10:06, 20 November '14

A large portion of this is a bit OTT but there's a point somewhere in the middle of it: not whether we should challenge uncomfortable/intolerant opinions, because of course we should, but whether banning discussion outright is ever acceptable on any level (spoiler: it isn't).

Includes a comparison between Whitehouse and the current student campaigners which is asking for trouble
