Well-put. I think the majority of students agree that some opinions are beyond the pale.Examples; "the holocaust is a myth," "the shooting of abortionist Dr. Tiller was justifiable," etc. As you said, any reasonable person would agree that such opinions are objectionable. I'm trying to think of better examples than those you already gave, and I'm coming up short. You wrote your idea much better than I could.
