FSU Students Struggle With Democracy's Hardest Question | Spectrum Street Epistemology

At @FloridaState, Peter Boghossian explores one of democracy's most difficult edge cases: Should members of the KKK be permitted to run for public office, teach in public schools, or hold the presidency?

The conversation forces a direct confrontation between democratic principles and the intuition that some beliefs disqualify a person from public life. As the exercise unfolds, students repeatedly revise their positions when faced with parallel cases involving ISIS, revealing how emotional reactions and political familiarity shape what people believe are principled arguments.
