Radicals on both sides wanting to purge wrongthink & wrongthinking people from universities need to be opposed by everyone who recognises the importance of the marketplace of ideas for individual freedom, the advance of knowledge & social progress. Beat bad ideas. Don't ban them.https://twitter.com/EnsignLeaf/status/1052934009209139201 …

Sorry, I incorrectly interpreted you as meaning that leaving it up to what currently passes for the marketplace of ideas would see things right. But now I am a little perplexed. Could you please describe what you see as the best way forward from where we now find ourselves?
-
To get universities to value the marketplace of ideas and embrace both ideological diversity and academic rigor in all departments.
-
I believe if we teach and show the importance of critical thinking and civil debate most students would embrace open discussion.
-
I'd love that to be the case but I don't believe we can easily get there from here
