Speech Code

The actions that were accounted for at Auburn University were discriminating and the punishments that were distributed were right. These types of actions should be outlawed and banned from campuses. What they did was hurtful and lawful. Kids should not have the right to display raciest beliefs and flaunt them in public. What was conserved as funny should not be allowed on any campus or any ground. America is said to be equal and a land of opportunity, these kids were showing that we are still not yet equal and we should punish the racism that was displayed.  People should not be allowed to display these kinds of acts because it is raciest and condescending. The sad truth is that there is a lot of racism still left in this country no school wants to be known for  that, and laying down strict punishments will hopefully help people from displaying it on campus.

The University of Missouri does have policies on freedom of speech most of which are very respectable. Although I believe that they could use room for improvement at least. One of the policy that was not present was one about sexual harassment. I honestly do not feel uncomfortable nor do I have any worries of being sexual attacked physically or verbally but I do believe that this could be a problem for women. I understand that it is a possibility I could be affected, but having visited college 99% of the verbal abuse is performed by males. Most of the verbal joke is made for good fun, but college students can quickly take a simple joke overboard, therefore I believe more restrictions should be made to help the students of the college.

None of the restrictions or lack of restricts persuade my view on the University of Missouri. With the rules that are made I don’t believe that many students will abuse there right of freedom of speech. The rules and regulation don’t lack much, and will allow for a great atmosphere. They don’t shut down anything that will prevent people from supporting their opinion, and they restrict enough rights to allow the actions to become overboard.

The University of Missouri I believe would not allow the actions of the Auburn students to go unpunished. If they ever found out about what was going on, I believe the fraternity would face strict punishment and legal actions would take place. They would do what is necessary to earn the trust and dignity back of the community, and I would support there decision.

FIRE is a very respectable institution that is doing the right thing to support the students at different universities. Not many people that I know of know what FIRE is, but I think what they are doing is great and I support their beliefs. They believe in serving justice and creating equal rights for all students and I agree with them. Fire has a very strict definition of speech code although I believe it should be looser I also agree with what it stands for. Their codes are only harmful to you if you’re the one performing the wrongful acts; otherwise they are just trying to protect the kids and employees of the universities.

FIRE is a great organization that all colleges and universities should look into. It helps the people of the community and is only there to protect their rights. Many kids especially now days need restrictions and I believe they have a great idea of what is right and what is wrong. Many people walk a fine line and FIRE prevents the abusive ways.
