If so then why is academy dropping free speech? Does higher intelligence also predict a lack of courage?

This is the key question. I still don't understand the widespread cowardice & conformity in American academia.

This doesn't say much for the 'intelligentsia' at all the universities that seem happy to shut down any speech that doesn't happen to conform with current politically correct appeasement.

Tempting to take jab at enemies of free speech as being idiots - while that prob largely holds true irrespective, seems likely there's substantial correlation w/ higher trait openness - AFAIK that's strongly correlated w/ IQ, entirely logical would apply to free speech too

Yep, I expect that both IQ and Openness predict support for free speech, and Openness might be the even stronger predictor.

So more college kids not supporting free speech we sent idiots to colleges - the result of dumbing down education. With SAT gone, it would be even more so.
