The high cost of discourse

I recently came across this NYT op-ed, co-authored by the president of the College Republicans and president of the Young Democrats at Hampden-Sydney. The authors argue for a little more dignity and civility when discussing politics amongst peers. This is more easily done at small colleges like CMC and Hampden-Sydney than at larger schools like Berkley. This op-ed points to the high costs that Berkley is incurring to protect freedom of speech.
