Harvard getting a low "freedom of speech" score from The Fire might as well be a commendation. Harvard is focusing on creating inclusive spaces and refusing to platform hate speech, and that is a good thing.

According to the article nearly half of the students at Harvard say they view abortion as “a difficult topic to have an open and honest conversation about on campus.” Sounds less like refusing to platform hate speech, and more like censoring discussion that goes against the university status quo in general.

I consider your comment in support of censorship to be hate speech, and it's not creating a welcoming space for people like me who support freedom of speech. Will you support HN deplatforming this abhorrent content?

Or is it that Harvard is censoring your ideological enemies, and you don't care?
