The money quote: What really bothered me is, the whole idea is that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion. I dont think we should be tolerating [Georges] conservative views because that dominant culture embeds these deep inequalities in our society. We should not be conceding to the dominant culture by saying that the so-called progressive left is marginalizing the conservative, Erin Ching 16
Sounds like a group of overprivileged, elitist kids indoctrinated by their leftist professors. BTW, it looks like one of the student reporters is the son of famous former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.

The big liberal umbrella of diversity and inclusion has plenty of room for everyone.
Except for those who don’t think and believe exactly the same as the liberals

The me the point is they believe there is no truth..the problem is then why would you seek what you believe does not exist..at that point you no longer reason..you rationalize what you want to believe is true you have no point of reference for critical thinking....floating ground

What I gather from this is these kids are on the same dope their parents were at that age. Gosh! The country doesn’t stand a chance with this many generations so fouled up.

So on issues such as gay marriage, the way we treat people in our society, what would it take for you to realize that youre wrong and admit it? George should have just come back, "So what about polygamy since we've already had a ruling on it in Utah; what are your views there?" The brave little fella would have been tongue-tied as the indoctrination on the point hasn't been sufficient as yet.

So a conservative opinion doesn’t count in this “diversity of opinion”?
Ms. Ching, be careful about ever entering a library. You don’t want to be so badly frightened.

"Despite widespread disagreement with Georges views, students mostly agreed with Cornel Wests remarks, saying he was wonderfully engaging, lovingly intelligent, and simply the best ever." Most intelligent thing I ever heard from Cornel West say.

Clearly they have read, or been educated by those dedicated to Herbert Marcuse's notion of
Repressive Tolerance Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.[14] Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc

This is the one that says it all about the current college generation:
"...the students agreed that there is no capital T truth, because a lot of things just come down to faith and what you believe in. But Robert George believed that there is a capital T truth, which is why you have to keep discussing and keep engaging, Meira said.
For libs the only absolute in life is What's Happenin' Now. Which has probably always been true for a large portion of young adults such as this girl, in an insular academic setting. But now the larger society not only encourages such thinking, but reinforces, applauds and even demands it. One wonders how long "discussing and engaging" with hold-outs will be "allowed."
