OXFORD, England – Two Oxford University students launched a new magazine called “No Offence” to highlight taboo topics people are often too afraid or embarrassed to discuss.

But Oxford University Students’ Union recently banned the magazine from the school’s Freshers’ Fair because student leaders are concerned the publication might offend some students, The Independent reports.

The OUSU told the news site it opted to ban No Offence because it “included a graphic description of an abortion, the use of an ableist slur, a celebration of colonialism, and a transphobic article,” according to the news site.

“In an attempt at satire, another article suggested organizing a ‘rape swagger’ – in the style of a ‘slut walk’ – in order to make rape ‘socially acceptable.’

“OUSU do not want to be associated with the views of this magazine, therefore do not want it to be distributed at our event,” the OUSU statement continued.

“The offensive views exhibited in this magazine do not in any way represent the majority of Oxford students, or OUSU. We therefore are very comfortable with our decision not to allow the publication at our event, and would like to emphasise that the editors of No Offence are, of course, completely fee to publish the document online, in the exact form in which it was sent to us, to enable students who wish to read it to do so.”

The magazine was crafted as a free speech publication by Philosophy, Politics and Economics student Jacob Williams with the help of Oxford resident Lulie Tanett, and it grew out of a popular “Open Oxford” forum last year, according to The Telegraph.

Williams told the Oxford student publication Versa News they solicited articles for the magazine over the summer and the first edition is now being printed. The intent was to distribute the magazine to freshman, but OUSU cited “Regulation 13” of the stallholders agreement at the Freshers’ Fair for banning its distribution.

That regulation states “OUSU reserves the right to remove any materials, or to prevent any activity, which in the view of OUSU Officers is likely to cause offence. This decision will be take at the discretion of OUSU and will be final. This applies to the duration of the Fair,” according to the OUSU website.

“There is nothing offensive about healthy debate,” Williams told Versa News. “To ban us from promoting it on the grounds that people might be offended proves everything the free speech movement has been saying. No offence OUSU, but you just shot yourself in the foot.”

“We’re not inciting violence – as many people do with impunity. We’re not revealing national security secrets – as many people would applaud. We’re not even campaigning for any particular view to be listened to. All we’re doing is campaigning for events and magazines like ours not to be shit down. For the free exchange of ideas,” Tanett said.

Versa News points out that Tanett was the target of hateful threats and attempts of violence for wearing an Israeli flag in public when she was 17 years old.

“I don’t want my country to be like this,” she wrote at the time. “I don’t want to be scared into not showing my support for a cause that I feel strongly about. … I refuse to let anyone scare me into submission.”

They may not have scared Tanett into submission, but those who objected to her Israel flag wardrobe and regularly promote anti-Semitism on campus will have their own booth at the fair.

Interestingly, the OUSU-backed Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality, whose co-chair was at the centre of an anti-Semitism storm and has since refused to resign, will be present and distributing materials at the fair.
