CIVIL DISCOURSE

Renowned Harvard Professor Cornel West (a Progressive / Liberal political thinker) and Princeton Professor Robert George (a Conservative Political thinker) have teamed in presenting  multiple discussion sessions both at US universities and in the wider national media. These discussions model how civil discourse between persons with opposing views can take place in an open and respectful manner. These talks provide an example of what Free Speech and Viewpoint Diversity should look like both in the classroom and on campus at American universities.

“The right to speak my mind out, that's America ... 
The right to think, speak and write as we believe without fear that 
Big Brother will retaliate against us because we don't toe the party line.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

We hope to see Cornell one day adopt a similar document, committing to free and open discourse.
