“A faculty group calling itself ‘Uncivil’ recently criticized the people leading civility and pluralism programs that encourage college students to engage constructively across lines of difference on campus. I’m one of those program leaders. As the founder of the nation’s largest interfaith organization, Interfaith America, I’ve visited over 200 college campuses promoting pluralism—the conviction that people with different identities and divergent ideologies can respect one another, build relationships, and cooperate for the common good. The students we serve span the ideological spectrum. They might disagree profoundly about the Middle East, abortion, and religion, but they can still agree to work alongside people whose convictions differ from their own.” (11/11/26)
