There is room for everyone; there is room for every culture, race, language and point of view.
We're not programming to conservatives. We're just not eliminating their point of view.
In the culture of pluralism...the only thing that cannot be tolerated is a claim to exclusivity.
A university is supposed to be a place where all ideas are discussed.
You can't have a university without having free speech, even though at times it makes us terribly uncomfortable. If students are not going to hear controversial ideas on college campuses, they're not going to hear them in America. I believe it's part of their education.
It was the mark of a barbarian to destroy something one could not understand.
Regarding mutual tolerance: It is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect, and indulge those whom we see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible these may be to us. Hands off.
People who are for diversity of thought, actually, are okay with hearing some opinions that they don't like. I quite literally see none of that on the Left.
Each voice is distinct and has something to say. Each voice deserves to be heard. But it requires the act of listening.
A right rule for a club would be, Admit no man whose presence excludes any one topic. It requires people who are not surprised andshocked, who do and let do, and let be, who sink trifles, and know solid values, and who take a great deal for granted.
No taste is so acquired as that for someone else's quality of mind.
I don't want to dumb anything down, and I think people appreciate that. Even if it's not their cup of tea.
