So do Harvard, Penn or MIT allow the same robust freedom of speech for facts and opinions contrary to woke orthodoxy that they allow to the pro-Hamas and anti-semitic protesters? Not even close — it’s the difference between night and day. I’ll give a few examples for your consideration.

Here is my December 16, 2022 blog post, title “Goodnight, Poor Harvard,” written on the announcement that Claudine Gay would become the next President of the institution. The post covered some of Gay’s actions during the time prior to becoming President-designate, when she had most recently been Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. My conclusion was “The picture emerges of Gay as the enforcer-in-chief of wokist orthodoxy at Harvard.” …

At Gay’s Harvard, if your speech supports the conservative position, the thinnest allegation against you can destroy your career. If you support the woke narrative, even the most explosive allegations against you can be buried.

[Menton includes a number of examples of Gay’s pernicious punishment of speech and dissent, both prior to and after her appointment to the top job at Harvard. This is not a free speech issue. It’s a crisis of woke orthodoxy being used to suppress some speech while allowing hate-filled intimidation to run rampant on campuses, against which Gay and Harvard’s board have lifted nary a finger. — Ed]
