Serious question: If the whole point of tenure, historically, was to protect professors who express controversial views, why do so few tenured professors today express controversial views? What are some specific reasons? (I'm working on an article about this.)

In public or state schools 1A should protect them no need for tenure hard for many of us who are in performance driven careers to understand perhaps
Sadly #1A gives very little protection in most universities; @TheFIREorg is trying valiantly to fix this, but it's an uphill battle.
