The transformation of #freespeech from an inspiring, even romantic democratic ideal into a bogeyman provoking hostility & suspicion is the product of a very intentional campaign originating on campus. FSM vs elitists. Elitists won. open.substack.com/pub/persuasion…

It was a passion project pursued by @NicoPerrino, Chris Maltby & @aaron_reese of @TheFIREorg. I couldn't be prouder of it.

Great #Tiktok on Ira Glasser's (of @Mighty_Ira_doc fame) powerful image of censorship laws as being like using poison gas in WWI. Never forget the wind can eventually blow back at you. tiktok.com/@thefireorg/vi…

Greg Lukianoff says "The US harboured a “Vegas campus delusion. What happens on campus will not stay on campus.” It has not. The SJW mindset is now evident in the media, the Democratic Party, businesses & schools. economist.com/briefing/2021/… from @TheEconomist economist.com/briefing/2021/…

Are you sure you read the right article? bit.ly/2UI6n0T Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Do you think these laws ARE constitutional & good idea as applied to higher education? Or did you disagree that students & teachers should have a greater free-speech rights?

1. Public opinion is not where it was in 2011. Thanks to the work of writers like @larabazelon, @JeannieSGersen, @ScottGreenfield, @kcjohnson9, @laurakipnis @staylor5448, @EmilyYoffe, & many others, there’s awareness of Title IX overreach & abuse. 8/10
