untitled Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Individuals like Spencer and Jongen are seeking legitimacy from institutions such as universities that pride themselves on taking all views seriously, but their goal isn’t to contribute to open ways of thinking that promote free inquiry. Rather, their hope is to establish oppressive systems of culture and government that exclude the most vulnerable from participation in public life. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/11/06/right-wing-extremists-have-a-right-to-speak-not-a-right-to-be-listened-to/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-posteverything%3Ahomepage%2Fcard Good point.

Skans Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 When people speak that you don't want to listen to, then stay home and watch Sunday NFL Football. I hear they are desperate for anyone to watch them play these days. Make sure you order some papa johns pizza too - they aren't too happy.
