    In 1994 then-president of the college Doug Orr sent a memorandum to the campus community announcing that all regular activities would be temporarily suspended in observance of three major events. MLK day, the college’s centennial, and the admission of Alma Lee Shippy in 1952, which he described as “a significant event in the history of Civil Rights and higher education in the United States South.” Two years before Brown v. Board of Education took place, Shippy’s admission, and the admission a year later of Georgia Powell, took place peacefully and without apparent resistance from white students or the surrounding community. Studying, living, dining, and taking part in extracurricular activities, this smooth integration seems an anomalous blip in the public consciousness and memory…

Bok 's thesis is that such form of an expression can be offensive, however, this is not enough to prohibit such form of communication due to its First Amendment rights. Bok makes an adequate argument because he assesses the offensive nature of this act as well as the harm that is derived from censorship by mainly providing persuasive notions. Although Derek Bok makes a strong case behind his support of the First Amendment rights, the essay nevertheless conveys various weaknesses.…
