"Those who desire to suppress [an opinion] deny its truth; but they are not infallible. They have no authority to decide the question for all mankind and exclude every other person from the means of judging. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility."
Paradox of tolerance. Platforming a holocaust denier will lead to more holocaust deniers, which will lead to more intolerance. Platforming fascists is always bad.
i don't disagree with you at all i think he believes the students will argue with a teacher instead of just not, so they can pass the class, like everyone does, which is pure idealism, but there is an actual discussion on the fb and twitter deciding what is and is not unacceptable could be real bad like, i am giving him the benift of the doubt because i feel like believes his shit like that students will rise against a shitty teacher and become better at arguing against this but i think his conclusions are wrong
