MEA CULPA! I am embarrassed to admit I had the publication date of my book with @JonHaidt wrong! It actually came out on Sep 4, 2018, which means FRIDAY is its second anniversary. 1/4

I thought it was Aug 20, &, in my defense, the paperback came out on Aug 20, 2019, & I’m also pretty sure Aug 20 was the original intended release date of the hardcover. 2/4

BIG thanks to everybody who tweeted about the 2nd anniversary of the book including @JohnHMcWhorter, @DavidAFrench, @asymmetricinfo,
@BretWeinstein, @thomaschattwill, @FreeRangeKids, @HeatherEHeying! 3/4
If you’re interested in updates please check out my series with @AdGo, @RynoWeiss, Sean Stevens, and @PamelaParesky, Catching up with Coddling at my blog. The latest has great stats on the rise of polarization. 4/4

THREAD: My latest Eternally Radical Idea newsletter responded to @DavidColeACLU’s review of my & @RIKKISCHLOTT’s newest book, The Canceling of the American Mind in @nybooks. 1/16

simonandschuster.com/books/The-Canc…
While it was a mostly positive review (thanks David!) & I have tremendous respect for the author, I did take issue with a few claims. 2/16

nybooks.com/articles/2024/…
David says Rikki & I claim #CancelCulture was worse than McCarthyism. The closest comparison we make is between Cancel Culture on campus & the 1st & 2nd Red Scare. We found that neither Red Scare threatened profs or students as much as Cancel Culture (check out the post for the numbers) & nothing comes VAGUELY close to it since the law was established between 1957 & 1973. 3/16

THREAD: With FIRE’s expansion to off-campus work, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about #freespeech philosophy. My series with former ACLU President, the great Nadine Strossen answers common arguments against free speech. 1/18

thefire.org/tag/free-speec…
Part 1: Free speech does NOT equal violence. We discuss whether freedom of speech rests on a false notion that words & violence are distinct. SPOILER: It doesn’t!. 2/18

thefire.org/free-speech-do…
Part 2: Free speech is for everyone. We discuss the dubious assertion that free speech is the tool of the powerful rather than the powerless. 3/18

Much virtual ink is spilled over the term “cancel culture.” Conservatives complain about it while perpetuating it, some progressives deny that it exists. @TheFIREorg’s @Komi_Tea & I explain in our recent piece for @thedailybeast. 1/12

thedailybeast.com/dont-stop-usin…
Last week, @nytimes published an editorial on America’s “#FreeSpeech problem,” citing a poll that showed that over the past year, 55% of respondents self-censored for fear of retaliation or harsh criticism. 2/12

nytimes.com/2022/03/18/opi…
Former @TheFIREorg intern @emmma_camp’s @nytimes op-ed on self-censorship at @UVA provoked some unhinged reactions, demonstrating the censorial behavior Emma warned of. 3/12

THREAD: Free speech culture didn’t come out of nowhere, it’s been built on the foundation of centuries of conflict, philosophy & law. If you want to brush up on the history, look no further than my #FreeSpeech Culture Study List. 1/18

thefire.org/gregs-recommen…
With a unique & international perspective, @JMchangama’s timely & thorough “Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media” shows how ancient & global the fight for free speech has been. 2/18

The most important book of 2021 IMO was @jon_rauch’s Constitution of Knowledge. Jon covers crises in our knowledge producing fields, higher education & journalism, & reveals the true value of The Enlightenment: the discovery of our profound ignorance. 3/18

THREAD: Former @TheFIREorg intern @emmma_camp_ published a terrific essay in @nytimes about the stifling climate on college campuses. As if to prove her point, her piece was met with outrage & denial in a predictable culture war pattern. 1/16

nytimes.com/2022/03/07/opi…
.@TheFIREorg’s @JordanmHowell & Sean Stevens came to @emmma_camp_’s defense with a detailed refutation of false (& mostly recycled) criticisms of the @nytimes piece. 2/16

thefire.org/critics-of-fir…
As @JordanmHowell & Sean argue, most of the critiques of the survey data @emmma_camp_ cited are baseless. The detractors misrepresent the cited campus free speech survey’s methodology. 3/16

THREAD: This week I am in @reason Magazine with a feature on ‘The Second Great Age of Political Correctness.’ By the mid-90s “PC” had become a joke, derided across the political spectrum See: the (not good) Jeremy Piven movie PCU. 1/14

reason.com/2021/12/13/the…
Many students stopped calling it “PC,” but the trend it described didn’t disappear, it just went off the public radar in the “ignored years” of campus #freespeech. During that time problems persisted & got worse. 2/14
Stanford’s infamous speech code banning insults & stigmatization was struck down in court in 1995, one of a half dozen losses for speech codes, but they STILL proliferated. By 2009 74% of universities had extremely restrictive speech codes. 3/14
