The scary implied element here is that “diverse and inclusive” is antithetical to free speech.
-
True. In fact I would go so far as to say that "inclusive" means that every individual has the freedom to speak, and that without such universal inclusion diversity on every dimension is impossible.
-
Also the idea that “hate speech” is defined (it’s not), or that it is not protected under Free Speech. Deplatforming is a cancer. Walked past Pastors yelling how we were all going to hell almost everyday in college. We laughed and moved on. Some call it maturity.

Being a white student is considered a position of power? Really?

I’ve had the privilege of working 50-60 hours a week all my life

How are you defining inclusivity that is contradicts free speech? Wouldn’t a truly diverse and inclusive society have to include that part of the spectrum which dislikes a diverse and inclusive society? Otherwise you are excluding people just because you disagree.
-
That's the point. If you can define speech you disagree with as antithetical to a diverse and inclusive society you can silence anyone you want in the name of inclusion.
-
And that is the hope of those who cannot reason or think logically. Rejecting objective truth has led to idiocy and a desire to be enslaved
-
At least we’re not being hyperbolic or anything

Why on earth are free speech and inclusiveness pitted against each other as if they were alternatives? Free speech is a means to assure an inclusive and diverse society.

Inclusivity, in this context, is code for "punishing people who say mean things about group x"
