"Free Speech Is Not Violated at Wellesley" Wellesly News (student newspaper) editorial unsigned student"

"Our Wellesley community will not stand for hate speech, and will call it out when possible....

We have all said problematic claims, the origins of which are ingrained in us by our discriminatory and biased society. Luckily most of us have been taught by our peers and mentors at Wellesley in a productive way. It is vital that we encourage people to correct and learn from their mistakes rather than berate them for a lack of education they could not control. While it is expected that these lessons will be difficult and personal, holding difficult conversation for the sake of education is very different from shaming on the basis of ignorance.

This being said, if people are given the resources to learn and either continue to speak hate speech or refuse to adapt their beliefs, then hostility may be warranted. If people continue to support racist politicians or pay for speakers that prop up speech that will lead to the harm of others, then it is critical to take appropriate measures to hold them accountable for their actions. It is important to note that our preference for education over beration regards students who may not have been given the chance to learn. Rather, we are not referring to those who have already had the incentive to learn and should have taken the opportunities to do so. Paid professional lecturers and politicians are among those who should know better.
