I was kinda tracking with the guy but he want totally off the rails at the


end. He said that universities have seen Jewish students / people as seeming to do pretty well, so have not been included in the groups that we need to protect / watch out for - but they need to be included in the groups that universities protect and watch out for.

He’s so very wrong IMO. The problem is not that we need to include more groups in those deserving of some special protection from hurtful speech - it’s that we should not have any groups, or any people based on some group “identity” getting special protection / that we are watching out for. When accused of having an environment that’s hostile to Jewish people or homosexuals or some racial category - the response should be to say that’s not true, our free speech culture is such that its equally hostile to everyone and all groups - those groups don’t get singled out for special treatment.
