"Our right to disagree is precious but fragile.……" — Madeleine M. Kunin
"Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heart beat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive."
