The headline doesn't do a great job of summarizing the content and ideas in the interview. You seem to have skimmed past many of the interesting ideas and missed the other points that might be referred to by the poor headline.
Other bad ideas that might arguably be the referents of that headline.
1) Making kids safer is always good and we should teach them that the world is a dangerous place so they protect themselves.
2) winning the culture war (vs discovering truth through dissent) can lead to better social justice.
3) That striving for equality of outcomes naturally leads to equality of opportunities.
4) That you can teach people a class that will make them behave ethically, rather than teaching them how designing social structures that encourage ethical behavior leads to better efficiency.
(That last one doesn't really fit but is an example of the interesting ideas in this interview that don't cleanly fit within the thesis of the headline)
