Return of the Blacklist: The Left Shuts Down Free Speech

Mimicking what leftists themselves might call McCarthyism, the left is demanding a blacklist of those who oppose its political ideology.

These organs of the left have one thing in common: they are against free speech.

Today's students, says Scott Greer in No Campus for White Men, demand less freedom and actually want to limit free expression.

Political correctness on campus is giving rise to a new generation poised to throw free speech out the window.

Academia has "Invented a labyrinth of anti-free speech tools," says political commentator Kirsten Powers, that are "Weapons to silence anyone who expresses a view that deviates from the left's worldview or ideology." George Orwell warned about this problem in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Because Harvard wields a great deal of influence, Rodrik's proposal will be taken seriously by other campuses around the country - most of which are controlled by the left.

Ed Brodow is a political commentator, negotiation expert, and author of seven books including his latest, Tyranny of the Minority: How the Left Is Destroying America.
