I try not to judge people too harshly for being anti-free-speech, as it’s an understandable emotional position to take when so much heinous stuff is out there, and when so many free speech advocates appear to be totally disingenuous.

But I expect more substance and intellectual honesty from a book about the subject. It also seems particularly egregious when people don’t see the value of free inquiry in a campus context.

Thanks for this review!

Well done getting through the whole book. Would be a real challenge for me to not get riled up and quit halfway through, considering the kinds of hurdles you describe here.
