rarer than hen's teeth today are university students taking a principled stand for academic freedom and discourse

those with the facts on their side do not fear debate, they welcome it

demanding censorship of "wrongthink" is 99.99% accurate shibboleth for being wrong yourself. https://twitter.com/StanfordReview/status/1310024904797024257

the all too familiar refrains of cancel culture and crybullies hectoring and haranguing those who question their orthodoxy are the signs of dogmatic belief that its promulgators know must be shielded from scrutiny lest it be revealed in its lack of basis.

such suppression of dissent and vilification of any who would disagree is the mode of the coward and of the zealot, not of those who would inquire after truth.

it has no place in our centers of learning or our society as a whole

if cats wore hats, i'd tip mine to these authors.

they have taken a brave and principled stance for a value so basic that it ought to be an intrinsic and inviolable part of the integument of any university.

the loss of this fundamental tenet of inquiry is the loss of the the pursuit of knowledge and of truth altogether.
