Preach on, brutha. spiked will expose attacks on free speech that come from student unions, institutional managers and campaigning feminists alike. Free speech is vital for students. It takes them out of their intellectual comfort-zone and makes them confront different opinions, including those they may find offensive. Only through doing this can students broaden their horizons, hone their own arguments, and, most important of all, actually learn something. By dressing censorship up as a radical act, student unions reinforce a culture of intolerance, infantilisation and conformity on campus. For spiked, the right to free speech means the right to be offensive, to think the unthinkable, and to argue the toss without fear of consequence.
