Letter: Whitehorn's visit provides opportunity for dialogue
(01/23/03 5:00am)
The reactionary response of the Duke Conservative Union to Laura Whitehorn's invitation to speak at the University is hypocritical. This is an issue of freedom of speech, a freedom that conservatives love to support - except when they dislike the message. In a day when the word "terrorist" is thrown around to label anyone who is seen as slightly threatening, we should be mature enough to engage people with different perspectives instead of ignorantly dismissing them.
