The irony inherent in the Dalhousie/Kahn controversy cannot have been lost on any objective observer. While it's true that both extremes on the political spectrum have become increasingly intolerant of opposing viewpoints, I think this has particularly become a problem on the left, perhaps because it tends to hold more sway in academia, but also because it presents its agenda as being preemptively morally superior. Personally, I abhor all calls to restrict or limit free speech. I believe we will all suffer if the movement to do so succeeds. And bravo to the University of Chicago for taking a brave stand based on a principle that's fundamental to any functioning democracy.
