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
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!
