Amy Wax tweets? Many people worried abt college students today. They seem to want to take us back to racial segregation & female fragility
-
First - I've never met a college student that is for either of those things. Second - we still live in a largely racially segregated society

Good for you. However, there is much evidence of students demanding separate spaces & claiming that women can't deal with words & ideas.

There's much evidence that students support free speech. https://www.knightfoundation.org/media/uploads/publication_pdfs/FreeSpeech_campus.pdf … The work on student "fragility" is weak at best.

Oh yes! They exist too & are almost certainly greater in number. We argue this in manifesto. Doesn't stop the problem being a problem tho.

You yourself just said SP's tweets against attack on Amy Wax showed he wants to go back to the 50s! Expressing conservative views that bad?
-
Her's I mean. Is it OK to call people racist/sexist for having conservative views abt responsibility & marriage? Even if we disagree?

They still value science, reason, democracy, liberty & human rights in their societies.
