Heather McDonald (@HMDatMI) is right. Magill's defence of the right to say anti-Semitic things on campus is not the problem. The problem is universities' poor record of protecting other kinds of speech, not favoured by their diversity bureaucrats. city-journal.org/article/right-…
On tonight’s episode of Free Speech Nation, I spoke to journalist @DavQuinn about the Irish government’s draconian Hate Crime Bill.

@Casey5122dark I explained this in a video 13 months ago, where I went through all laws past and pending designed to decimate free speech. See minute 7.30 youtu.be/tj4vc_Khb9k

My 7th February conversation with Jacob Mchangama, CEO Justitia, about his book 'Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media' is live. His book is both a global account of how freedom of speech was won and a warning about how it might be lost. youtu.be/zMOU7kdQYB4
