Students do not need to hear speakers to please conservatives who are whining about fairness
That's not the reason, of course.
The reason is that there is no better or more appropriate place
on the planet than an American University for our young people to be exposed to all kinds of thought, particularly that thought which contradicts and challenges their own.
It opens and expands their minds, it exercises their capacity for critical thought and honest debate, and it provides them with an empathy for the opinions, views and experiences of others.
The saddest thing here is that this even needs to be said. This should be about the LAST argument that needs to be made in America.
Do you agree with this point? Do you not want to promote and advocate for this, for our young people?
