I Respectfully Disagree: When Debate Dies Who Loses

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. As we looks at freedom of speech, in this keynote, Dr. Walter Kimbrough asks four core questions:

Who Decides which speech is unsuitable/permissible?
Do we obsess over speech but ignore acts?
Is there a value to hearing the other side?
Do we infantizied a college experience arguing that some voices should not be allowed on campus?

Dr. Walter Kimbrough helps students navigate how to enter into a debate, respect speech, and talk across differences.
