Ep. 128 John McWhorter says academics are really, really worried

Last summer, Columbia University Professor John McWhorter wrote
that he was receiving missives almost daily “from professors
living in constant fear for their career because their opinions”
are incompatible with campus orthodoxies. On today’s episode of
So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we catch up with McWhorter
to discuss how the culture has changed (or not) since The
Atlantic published his article, “Academics Are Really, Really
Worried About Their Freedom.”


McWhorter is a member of FIRE’s Board of Directors and the host
of the popular Lexicon Valley podcast.
