“We must all insist on the right to speak in language that is uncomfortable to those to do not want to disrupt the status quo.” –Stanford professor palumboliu
Chanel Miller was not a Stanford student. She is a Palo Alto native and went to the party on campus with her sister and friends. Those of us at Stanford nonetheless consider Chanel Miller a part of us now, not because of her being a victim, but because we feel invested in doing right by her. If our administration won’t atone on our behalf, then we will.
Maybe college administrators have to speak that language. But they should not insist that we do, and they should not censor us if we don’t, especially if they have agreed to let us use the language we need.the remarkable efforts of some students to put in place, through Augmented Reality software, the memorial Chanel Miller requested. One of the students who contributed to the site, Alexis Kallen, rebutted Stanford’s reason for banning Miller’s words.
Of course, in the original reading it is Miller standing before Brock Turner and speaking truth in court. But as a set of words on a plaque, the words serve another purpose as well: They initiate an educational and ethical experience—something that is indeed supposed to happen at universities.
