Universities embrace academia's woke insanity to crush free speech

Universities crush free speech and embrace academia's woke insanity by shutting down conservative opinion. Top institutions bow to their leftist students.

Ilya Shapiro is the director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute and author of "Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court," now out in an updated paperback edition. He also writes the Shapiro’s Gavel Substack newsletter. 

I know a little something about this, having faced my own attempted cancellation over a tweet criticizing President Joe Biden’s restriction of his pool of Supreme Court candidates by race and sex. After a four-month "investigation," Georgetown Law Dean William Treanor ultimately cleared me on the technicality that I wasn’t an employee when I tweeted. But he allowed the diversity inquisitors to repeal the school speech-and-expression policy, setting me (and every other faculty member) up for discipline at the next transgression of progressive orthodoxy. Instead of participating in that slow-motion firing, I resigned.
