I pose a simple question: can free and civil discourse survive inclusion of those who would silence that discourse by any means possible—including violent intimidation?

That seems to be a straightforward question deserving of a straight answer: no, civil discourse will not, except under special circumstances, survive when participants seek to undermine or destroy it.

Yet, when that question is applied to academia, it quickly, and very understandably, becomes clouded over with two ideals broadly engrained in the American spirit: our strong, traditional allegiance to free speech and our more recent but passionate desire for inclusion.
