I think the line here is simple. It's not that people are being disallowed from having certain views, we're really talking about whether or not we want to spend the time and energy discussing them.

As leftist as the academy is, if you make an honest point with teeth behind it, there are enough real thinkers they will feel compelled to engage with you.
