Joe Edens discusses the challenges of free speech when such speech includes content that undermines the ideologies of higher education, such as diversity, tolerance, or intellectual rigor. Even in cases of controversial or provocative speech, he believes that the process of free speech should not be hindered and employs John D. Inazu's concept of "confident pluralism"--that we can coexist despite profound difference--to imagine how we can engage deeply with those who hold vastly different perspectives. Though it can be difficult to practice tolerance, patience, and humility during a collision of perspectives, it is necessary to support free and civil discourse.
