It's foolish to commit to respect all opinions. Some opinions (some political or religious beliefs, for example) are not worthy of respect, and some are indeed destructive of a welcoming environment. We should respect a person's right to *hold* whatever opinions they like; but those opinions, when expressed, should get no assumed protection, not even in a diversity statement. If the opinion is unsound or hateful or otherwise unworthy of respect, it should get no protection in a public forum. We should not commit to respecting opinions, but instead commit to respecting all people. -- \ “Yesterday I parked my car in a tow-away zone.
