With regard to the debate column: The individual supporting the idea that all speech must be allowed on campus is correct, the other is wrong. There is no debate here. If any speech is allowed to be restricted, who is designated as the restrictor? One of the debators mentioned that everyone knows the Holocaust happened. This is not so. There are those people who believe it never occured. What if one of them was a restrictor? To safeguard democracy, three absolutes are required: freedom of speech, seperation of church and state; and the right to keep and bear arms. Anything less guarentees the eventual slide down the slippery slope to totalitarianism.
