Here's a piece from @ortoiseortoise that I agree with and disagree with, but not in the same sense at the same time! Like all good millennials I shall resolve this apparent contradiction through a series of tweets and clear up all confusion. https://www.chronicle.com/article/Don-t-Be-Fooled-There-Is-a/243206/?key=vSQp-3cf-De7HoC41GBsvjqj4UkhivZm9f7-Mj4GzHhFO9uShkl2QoQ32SgIlFfERnloTlVsUHBmZm54TE51Z094TkRPQURmVmR3SDlYcUZhN2h2WXU2U2M2MA#.Wt8sAocfEdM.twitter …

Two agreements: first, indeed it does not suffice to show that there is no real problems for free speech to show that it is popular, this is a basically bad argument that has picked up too much steam. Second, I'm generally wary of the incentives university administrators face.

My disagreements: I think lots of current free speech problems come from people classifying dissenting speech as outside bounds of protected speech (I think this is part of what Stanley and Manne were getting at), and "free speech crisis" rhetoric often exacerbates this problem.

can you say more? i can't unpack this yet
