Yet in doing so, we shrug off our burden as advocates by excluding those with whom we are uncomfortable and divergent.
We ironically use “inclusive” as a way to ignore other opinions. At UVa, we sometimes use the term “collegiality” to gloss over the fact that we are afraid of confrontation.

Having won by one vote, the post-election fallout weighed on me heavily.
