Harvey Silverglate认为言论自由是美国最重要的权利,即使是仇恨言论也应受到保护,因为它比爱之言论更重要,因为它能让我们了解应该警惕谁。他认为言论自由和思想自由是同一光谱的两端,言论审查最终会导致思想审查。他认为言论自由最终能带来真理,因为言论自由能够促进更有效的决策。他认为生活在一个自由社会需要承受一定程度的不适,这是自由的代价。他认为即使在互联网上,言论自由也应是绝对的,因为言论自由保护了每个人,无论其政治立场如何。在自由社会中,人们需要学会承受批评和冒犯,这是自由的代价。言论自由并非绝对,但其限制应仅限于诽谤、直接威胁等极少数特定类别。言论自由在大学里尤为重要,因为大学是培养年轻公民的地方。大学教育应来自思想的碰撞,言论审查会破坏教育事业。大学管理人员过多,不利于学术自由和言论自由。大学管理人员过多导致成本高昂,并抑制了大学的活力。大学应保护学生免受人身攻击,但不应保护他们免受冒犯,因为了解谁不喜欢自己很重要。大学教育系统应更重视言论自由和学术自由。大学应挑战学生的既有观念,而不是让他们感到舒适。思想碰撞是大学教育的核心,言论自由有助于真理的产生。反歧视行动违反了法律的平等保护原则,解决大学入学机会不平等问题的根本方法是改善中小学教育。改善中小学教育质量是解决大学入学机会不平等问题的关键,教师工会是阻碍教育改革的因素之一。大学的多元化、包容性和公平计划掩盖了中小学教育的不足。
