Editorial: Reaffirming Freedom of Expression

President Eisgruber recently stated, “We at Princeton believe that it is a fundamental advantage for a university to be able to tolerate even offensive kinds of speech and to respond to bad arguments when they are made with more speech rather than with disciplinary actions.” His statement was made to defend freedom of expression, up to the point of protecting the right of student groups to commemorate Osama bin Laden, and this Board believes that such freedom extends to other offensive ideas and arguments.This past weekend, a computer hacker known as “Weev” claimed responsibility for printing posters criticizing the presence of Jews in the United States and promoting white supremacy through the website of a group known as The Daily Stormer.

We are Socrates’ condemned

Last Friday, over a typical drunk meal of chicken fingers and fries, a conversation with my friends took a philosophical turn when one friend offhandedly noted how “people here always want to talk about things even when they don’t know what they’re talking about.”In my own insecurity, I wondered if he was talking about me.
