After attending the WH Correspondents Dinner last night and sitting three tables away from the stage, I am more concerned than ever with @TheFIREorg polling showing a 50% increase over the last 5 years in college students who find political violence acceptable. The answer: @ThinkAgainUVA’s emphasis on civil discourse and viewpoint diversity rather than violence.

On this day in 1968, just one day before his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” in Memphis, TN. 57 years later, his words still challenge and inspire.
“I may not get there with you… but we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”

One of the best events at @UVA in years: @McCormickProf Robert George and @CornelWest before a packed house of Hoos. Here’s to constructive disagreement!

🚨 "They’re not used to speeches changing the course of history."
Presidential speechwriter, professor, and @ThinkAgainUVA Director @mkcary explains why students need more hands-on practice for constructive disagreement:

🚨"75% of students at UVA say they've never disagreed with a professor."

🗣️This is what constructive disagreement looks like.
HxA member @mkcary directs @ThinkAgainUVA, which hosts "Disagree With A Professor."
Students practice disagreeing on topics such as whether Luigi Mangione should be deemed a terrorist or UVA's new modern buildings are ugly.

🚨 FIRE seeing its worst years for mob-driven censorship on campus?
At HxA2025, @TheFIREorg's @ConnorMurnane shares an inside look at what's driving threats to free speech on campus recently:

My nominee for best commencement address in America this year: @UVA's Professor Michael Suarez on why free speech is the foundation of higher education and our democracy. Money quote:
"It is our duty to promote dialogue across difference, to provide opportunities for citizens of the university to be in conversation—and even debate—with individuals unlike themselves, people whose thinking will challenge our views and perhaps enlarge our understandings.
The imperative of free speech on our Grounds—and in every corner of the American college campus—follows not only from our legal obligations, but also from our unswerving belief in the value of creating a pluralistic community of mutual inquiry and mutual respect."
I couldn't agree more.

This is how we start building the pillars of @ThinkAgainUVA — the critical thinking that comes with independence, the intellectual humility that results from failure, the appreciation of viewpoint diversity — in the next generation.
