Response to ‘Haitian tradition insulted by freshmen guest speaker’

I wish people wouldn’t use the word “intolerant” as an insult. If you insist that tolerance is a virtue, you cannot object when others are intolerant. In fact, you cannot object to anything. To do so would constitute intolerance on your part, thus making you a hypocrite. Your only option is to forsake morality altogether. This is what G.K. Chesterton meant when he said that “tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.”
