é preciso dizer que nem todas as faculdades americanas estão condenadas ao fascismo sobre a opinião. A de Chicago, por exemplo, acabou com as limitações à liberdade de expressão elegendo um magnífico documento, o "Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression", como parecer fundamental sobre a matéria. A certa altura o Report explode de eloquência:
"Of course, the ideas of different members of the University community will often and quite naturally conflict. But it is not the proper role of the University to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.
Although the University greatly values civility, and although all members of the University community share in the responsibility for maintaining a climate of mutual respect, concerns about civility and mutual respect can never be used as a justification for closing off discussion of ideas, how ever offensive or disagreeable those ideas may be to some members of our community."
Cerca de 30 universidades americanas subscreveram entretanto a filosofia que está subjacente a este texto.
Boas notícias, portanto.
