Return of the selective ‘free speech’ warrior

There’s a sure cadre of pundits who get so much of mileage out of posing as open-minded defenders of concepts and debate, however in actuality they’re caught in the right-wing narrative that the risk is from the left fairly than overwhelmingly from the proper. It ought to now be apparent to anybody with half a cortex that the proper’s screeching about “wokeness” and free speech is disingenuous, half of a bigger technique to impose their very own radical ideology on America and undo all social progress of the twentieth century. Creating an ethical panic about public colleges and universities is all half of the plan. Somehow these helpful idiots (as depicted by the above cartoon character) are inclined to overlook the undeniable fact that at present’s GOP is brazenly trying to the intolerant dictatorship of Hungary as a mannequin. Orban has seized management of that nation’s universities and cultural establishments to advertise what he calls “Christian” values and “national identity.”

For extra on the topic, I extremely advocate this wonderful essay from Dave Karpf.
