Therefore, to establish a truly tolerant status quo, society has to be vehemently intolerant of intolerance. After the racially-charged Collegetown incident a few weeks ago, the Student Assembly motioned to ban “hate speech” on campus.

Hate speech is usually hurtful, ignorant and deplorable, but it is necessary to protect a culture of openness and tradition of free speech.
