ABSTRACT
In this paper, I look critically at a recent statement put out by NCA’s Executive Committee on hate speech. Rather than promoting diversity and civility, I contend that this statement distorts and diminishes our understanding of communication, ultimately impeding the rise of new diversities and possibilities.
