Great letter. I’d want to add one caveat, though: There are speakers whose main goal is to troll. They use campuses as publicity in the guise of spreading ideas. Such speakers subvert the goal of sincere civil discourse, and IMO that’s a reason to disinvite.https://twitter.com/cfchabris/status/871703620433195008 …
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me this reads as nothing more than a slighly more formal rendition of the traditional "Free Speech" argument

The weirdest thing to me is this idea that if you don't invite people to speak at your university somehow students aren't exposed to their ideas. I'd be shocked if anyone hadn't heard of Watson's views on biological determinism, for example
