      But yes, it’s definitely the occasional Foucault reading — not, say, the decades-long campaign to paint campuses as centres of Stalinist brainwashing and expertise as liberal groupthink — that’s making conservative students feel unwelcome.

      If you genuinely bought into the “campus free speech crisis” narrative, it’s past time to realize that it is a transparent attack on universities as insitutions and on academics as experts. Realize that the people pushing this narrative are hoaxers, plagiarists and scam artists.

          And if you really think the right wing or the IDW is interested in “saving” universities or protecting academic freedom, take a look at what they do in power. Take a look at which leaders they admire. This is about controlling institutions, or wrecking them if need be. That’s it.

          Yes. The 'free speech' initiative and defunding universities, is to protect the free speech of anti abortion speakers.

          Since this is confusing my right-wing readers: I'm talking specifically about "people pushing this narrative". (If you look *closely*, you'll see that's how I wrote the tweet.) If you want to comment on how I see "everyone who disagrees with me", you'll need to find *that* tweet.

          When I say hoaxers, I mean people who pride themselves on having carried out a hoax. When I say plagiarists, I mean individuals or publications that have been found to plagiarize or to publish plagiarism. When I say scam artists, I mean figures who have pushed or supported scams.

          Precisely. Don't buy into the narrative Bret Weinstein is a free speech truth teller or that college students were violent toward him, you are believing a one sided and exaggerated narrative without looking at the countering evidence.
