Column: The Uncensored America event should not be taken seriously

Uncensored America's event at the University of South Carolina is aimed at attacking Vice President Kamala Harris, shifting political discourse from constructive debate to personal disrespect. Featuring known provocateurs Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes, the event exemplifies how political speech can devolve into hostility.


Guest Column: Uncensored America event is shameful for political discourse

"Protecting the freedom of speech of these two speakers and not canceling the event does not mean their views are correct, nor does it mean the event models civil discourse," guest columnist Elijah Butcher writes. "If the university wants to promote legitimate political discussion, it should host a counter-debate between two levelheaded individuals from opposing sides of our divided political spectrum to model the idea that it is powerful and necessary to discuss controversial issues."
