The ACLU is no longer with you. They say they would not defend the Skokie


Nazis now.

Free speech is not the same thing on the left that it was in ‘70s. This is true in academia as well. If this were 1980, I’d be inclined to agree with your thoughts on genocidal speech. As it is, it’s pure hypocrisy (not your hypocrisy).

Who kids are allowed to offend, or even threaten, now depends on which identity group is doing the speaking, and which is being offended by it. “Oppressed” groups get leeway to do as they want. “Oppressor” groups, not so much.

This is the big problem. We need to move past this simplicity. Then free speech rules applied equally to all will follow.
