Greg, your work is vital to the flourishing of our nation and our communities. Thank you so much for all you folks do at FIRE. I have found The Coddling of the American Mind, you wrote with Prof. Haidt, to be so hugely valuable as I work on my Civic Engagement Classic Film curriculum project..... which features 12 Angry Men, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, and other great movie classics. Thank you!!!!
—AAUP relied on free speech and the First Amendment for its entire existence. But once their leaders got confident that enough “right-thinking people” would be in charge forever, they turned on it.

Leftists are always consistent in the way they wield their WHO/WHOM morality. They are good tolerant liberals as they quietly gain and consolidate power, but become hanging judges and sanctimonious tyrants once their power is secured.
As the writer of "We Asked For It" says, the academic Left has set themselves up as the enemies of America and our free society—they demand it be deconstructed according to their ideological specifications—and thus should be treated as such.
"My guess is that the successful Democrats of the future will seek to distance themselves as far as possible from the bespoke jargon and pedantic tone that has constituted the professoriate’s signal contribution to Democratic politics." AMEN!
