2023 was a ‘dire’ year for freedom of speech on campus, says this organization. Will next year be any better?

From campus shout-downs to angry mobs and censorship, 2023 was a "normal" year for speech on campus, Greg Lukianoff says. And by "normal," he means "very, very bad."

"It's like, ‘You don’t say?' This has been going on for quite some time." Hannah Ray Lambert is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.

Lukianoff and FIRE, a free speech advocacy group, often call the current campus climate "the new Red Scare," alluding to two previous eras of rampant censorship. But he argues that McCarthyism, during which an estimated 100 professors lost their jobs for alleged Communist beliefs, was actually less severe than modern cancel culture.
