I support Quillette's fight for free speech and wholeheartedly agree that it's important that we can debate any idea put forth in "good faith" (subjective, of course, but a necessary qualifier) on its merits. However, I largely disagree with their assessment of the severity of the anti free speech movement in the US. For instance, Larry Summer's dismissal as president of Harvard is a commonly cited example as this backlash. But after Harvard, he went on to chair the national economic council and regularly publish columns in many major publications. So, he wasn't exactly frozen out of society, unlike many members of truly disadvantaged groups. Perhaps academia is sick and in need of reform, but we don't need to exaggerate the problem.
