There is a bright line distinction between what adults learn on college campuses that they choose to attend, and what children are taught in near ubiquitous public schools without their parents' knowledge or permission. I think you would do well to clarify both the effect and motivation of efforts to address each separately. I am not in favor of cancel culture or limitations on free expression when it comes to adults, however I have very serious concerns about what minors who are unable to meaningfully consent, are taught in their public schools.
Rufo makes me happy FIRE is around to push back against left-wing illiberalism on campus in a fairer, more effective, and more truly liberal way than he does.
We now have Johns Committees on practically every campus, they're just targeting a new group of "others" that the liberals in charge have deemed worth hunting through DEI offices, radicalized faculty senates, deans gunning for promotions by imposing DEI and throwing faculty under the bus, and Title IX offices that are out of control and committed to eviscerating due process.
I doubt very many of the professors featured here would lift a finger to help a conservative colleague in trouble, speak out again DEI loyalty oaths at schools and in disciplines, or do anything to promote an actual culture of free speech on campus.
Perhaps they might also want to reach out beyond their campuses to their communities to actually engage with the taxpayers and regular citizens in the democratic process instead of railing against them as idiots who dare challenge their supposed birthright to expertise.
There was an interesting article in National Review from an author that was able to see the teacher’s guide from this AP course. The Governor is correct in saying this course is materially biased and Marxist, with no balancing arguments.
Now I understand that the author of this blog is a socialist, and I subscribe to get an alternative point of view and I appreciate the references. But there is a reason the governor was elected with a 20 margin.
