Survey: student attitudes about diversity and inclusion vs. free speech are shifting

At the risk of speaking in absolutes, I think it helps to remind ourselves what was wrong with these distasteful ideas rather than sweep them under the rug hoping they’ll go away. I might be convinced of some exceptions, especially if it jeopardizes the personal safety of vulnerable individuals, but I think society is more resilient if we present solid reasons to oppose destructive policies out in the open rather than silence any talk of it at all. But that’s just me. I have faith that most people want to live in a just society and they can be made to see it’s in their own interest to respect the freedoms we all share.
