Wisdom from my colleague Keith Whittington. In this case, it's conservatives trampling the free speech of a left-wing academic and trying to cancel him. Folks at Auburn: Don't do that! Critique his vulgar anti-police statement, don't fire him. https://reason.com/2020/08/03/extramural-speech-at-auburn/ … via @reason
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I think that what may have to happen eventually--after everybody gets cancelled several times over and finds out that it sucks--is a piece of legislation that prohibits firing based on anything that's not directly related to work.

Although of course, we also have a gig economy where there is no employment relationship for many people... but at least, setting a standard of separation between one's professional life and one's life outside of work could be helpful.

But then again... the cancel culture (that is awful) is only one side of the problem. The other side of the problem is that there have always been taboo topics that cost people jobs, it's just that now the list of "wrong" ideas has grown exponentially, and new ones pop up daily!
