So we at #SimpsonCollege have come to final last Spring 2021 term day of the semester from hell. The last day of the total year from hell. I am so proud of my students, robbed of a full year of a normal college experience, for fighting through this crap.

My biggest takeaway is learning how truly connected to the internet the world is today. #mobilesocial

"If people can be taught to hate, people can learn to love." This is exactly what I needed to hear tonight. The highlight of the webinar in my opinion. #nocensorship

There is a culture of hate that exists. It is disappointing. Proper education is a step forward to the right direction. #nocensorship

"We can not meaningfully address equality issues unless we have robust freedom of speech," @nadinestrossen #nocensorship

Doing nice things to people who aren't so nice can really make a difference. #nocensorship #RandomActsOfKindness

People are growing from our hurt? Wow. I already knew this, but realizing how significant it truly is lowers my faith in humanity. #nocensorship

Only recently did Germany finally adopted an inside discrimination law. It was illegal to use discriminatory language, but not with things such as employment or housing rules. #nocensorship #ChangeIsPossible

'Celebrities' like Donald Trump would have no issue finding a new platform if banned from select medias, but regular people do not have that kind of power. #nocensorship #WhyIsThatFair

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

Social media platforms have their own rights in terms of what is okay to say online. "Who can say what?" History is very repetitive. @NadineStrossen talks about the unfairness of inequality found online. #nocensorship

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

It is our responsibility to learn to counter speech properly, to counter the hate speech, and to support those who are being discriminated against. #nocensorship #standtogether

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

Attention and sympathy - those are two main sources that people fuel themselves with. "Be clear with your goals," @NadineStrossen #nocensorship

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

Things need to progress forward in a positive way. People may never fully be redeemed for their hurtful actions, but those who want to try should do just that: attempt to do better. #nocensorship #secondchance

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

"Speech has the power to do enormous harm," said @NadineStrossen about a recent case with the Supreme Court. #nocensorship #whyhate

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

If the speech is presenting an emergency of imminent of hate speech, action can be take. The speaker can easy intimidate the audience verbally without taking physical action. This is sad. #nocensorship

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

How is 'hate speech' defined? @NadineStrossen says it is unconstitutionally protected. We use it in everyday speech that conveys a hurtful or controversial opinion towards others. #nocensorship #WeShouldLoveNotHate

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

Speech, press, petition, assembly, religion! Those are our rights as ordered by Julie Roosa hosting webinar tonight. #nocensorship

[TheWorkingStudent @Working_Study]

@Webex is much more entertaining than @Zoom. Change my mind. #collegestudentlife
