When Is Speech Violence?
Brain science distinguishes verbal abusiveness from mere offensiveness."By all means, we should have open conversations and vigorous debate about controversial or offensive topics. But we must also halt speech that bullies and torments. From the perspective of our brain cells, the latter is literally a form of violence."

Rallies and camp meetings have a place. It is not on the campus. Students should be encouraged to attend such events and bring their content up for dissection on campus.
Politics is a subject and not an object of campus life.
