> What reason do you have
The document itself. Look at who/what it cites or supports. For example:
* Eric Kaufman at CSPI (three cites for two documents) rails about "left-wing authoritarianism" and "far left activists" while Weiss's own accompanying text specifically mentions "discrimination against right-leaning scholars".
* Challey Institute, whose founder is a pretty major Republican operative - https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=robert+challey https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=robert...
* FIRE Institute might have been involved in the Florida case, but also on the top of their "about" page are gems like "Under the guise of “nondiscrimination” policies" and non-specific complaints about diversity training.
* Dorian Abbot and Peter Boghossian are specifically right wing martyrs. Kathleen Stock describes herself as a "gender critical feminist" or what many in the trans community would call a TERF
* Weiss oddly does not mention the Florida case, even though it's highly topical (but it involves suppression by the right wing)
The concern with supporting one political faction - not freedom itself - is obvious to anyone who actually reads the OP instead of reflexively taking sides.
