FIRE’s study reveals that today, one in four faculty members are doing the same.

Moreover, a majority of faculty worry about losing their jobs or harming their reputations because someone misrepresents their words, while a third self-censor out of concern over the responses of staff, students, or administrators. This has created a truly chilling effect on learning and innovation on campuses nationwide.

Some conservatives seem enthusiastic about getting into a bear-knuckles, no-civility and no-decorum fight with leftist activists, perhaps believing--mistakenly-that only cultural Machiavellianism will save American from further social decline. These conservatives should remember… https://t.co/UNMT8tptaU
