Please post about the following topic to the blog by Sunday, Oct. 26, 8 PM.
Which chalkings -- if any -- should a college administration erase on campus sidewalks? Chalkings that constitute "fighting words" (Ursinus Student Handbook, p. 18)? If so, what are the criteria for "fighting words?" Hate speech? If so, what are the criteria for hate speech? (By criteria, I mean something like this: (a) speech found offensive by some individual; (b) speech found offensive by some group; (c) speech intended by the speaker to express hate; (d) speech with hateful propositional content; (e) speech historically associated with harm to certain groups; etc.)
