We live in a different country now. Humanities programs did their jobs

  Not sure what you mean. Care to elaborate?

    I'm guessing, but I suspect that cft means that humanities programs (at universities) produced people who do not value freedom of speech (or, slightly more charitably, who value other things more, such as preventing speech that offends or triggers people). Presuming that I understood cft's point, I'm not sure I buy it. True, some of the humanities people seem less committed to free speech than one would wish. But they are hardly the first to be so. Personally, I'm not sure that there are more voices in favor of censorship than there ever have been. It' may just be that, like every other viewpoint, those calling for it can get really loud in their own echo chamber...
