Modern society has devolved into a tangled web of ideological power struggles designed to obliterate contrary opinions instead of creating a productive dialogue.  

At the risk of generalizing the subject, all of this racous debate can be boiled down to one simple concept- respect. Respect for others and respect for oneself. 

A university should be the central square for openness and tolerance and above all learning.  Respect all opinions, encourage an open dialogue but don't try and force people to conform to your beliefs. That's not tolerance, that's fascism. 

It's time for some sanity to return to the conversation.
