Yale University, free speech and diversity- U.S. university campuses in 2015-2016

11/10/2015

What constitutes "culturally insensitive" in Halloween costumes? This is the question being debated on the Yale Univeristy campus in November 2015, in New Haven Connecticut, U.S. There is not just minorities that are involved, also socioeconomic strata, which this WSJ editorial says means practically everyone including the Irish, Polish, Italians and other people from southern and eastern Europe, who were once treated as some minorities are today. One side is for free speech, the other side is for cultural sensitivity.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
