        by this article's logic it's acceptable for michael richards to use the n-word

        Hey Rostam. Not acceptable. But the argument is that we combat through exposure, criticism, protest; not by banning, intimidation.

        just for the sake of argument can we continue my analogy and imagine a world where Michael Richards incorporates the N-word...

        It's like when the ACLU defended the KKK's right to march (and others to protest, criticize, and march, too)...

        The difference I see here is that an undergraduate institution is obliged to foster an environment where students feel safe.

        "feel safe" or "are safe"? And who decides when one or the other is breached?

        this essay is weak and frankly i'm surprised you back it. the comedian analogy especially does not hold up.

        No, it's their job to make enough people laugh that they can make a living from it. You truly are deluded.

        @SamHarrisOrg @TheAtlantic Note that some of the responses here indicate people don't read articles before arguing.

        Others indicate liberals/progressives care more about being righteous than about principles. Sigh
