I tend to disagree with censorship of all sorts. :-/
Censorship sends the wrong message. While I understand you may be trying to prevent heated discussion, censoring posts, threads, and limiting discussion will go much further toward perpetuating a climate of intolerance, misunderstanding, and disagreement than letting them run their course ever could. Not only does it limits a students' opportunities to learn about specific topics, but it steals from them a value lesson about living and working in the "real world" - people do not always agree, almost never 'agree-to-disagree', and being able to stand forth and defend your beliefs is one of the most valuable skills someone can possess.
If they don't learn that now, when will they learn it?
Time limits; the longer the better; are the best option, I guess. Still, I don't like it at all.
