Beyond the Campus? (Vera Speaking)
						MAIN PATH: Dee
					Vera		Dee

You are absolutely right. The campus is a special place and some arguments can be made that apply only to the campus. But there are also arguments, sometimes similar and sometimes quite different, that apply to the entire nation. The main argument is simple.

• Hate speech causes enormous harm to individuals and groups. We have already mentioned the main kinds of harm.
  

• The traditional arguments supporting a liberal policy on free expression do not apply to the case of hate speech. This is true partly because hate speech has no intellectual value.
  

• Therefore the law can put hate speech on a lower tier and restrict it.
