gosh jon chait was right that the big threat to free speech is indeed middlebury students
Indiana has declared that professors have no speech rights in the classroom; “any speech pursuant to the teacher’s ‘official duties’ and ‘professional responsibilities’ is subject to state direction.”

Man those Middlebury students are really repressing speech. Bari Weiss was right!!!
Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

Jon Chait is worried he'll be scolded at Middlebury so makes a huge issue out of Charles Murray being scolded at Middlebury. It's a real threat to him, unlike racism, eugenics, or even censorship from right-wing governments.
