Not another word—ever—about safe spaces, microaggressions or “erasure” on a college campus.

Not one more damn word.

No, I think he's a buffoon, grifter, treacherous to friends, sycophant to tyrants, has no political philosophy whatsoever, and is willing to sacrifice anything to benefit himself. That's for starters. I am not trying to insult nor to ingratiate. This is my opinion.

This is a real e-mail distributed at an Asian studies class UC Berkeley.

This is the same institution that welcomed in disgraced SF DA, Chesa Budin.

There's some empirical data backing up your position. Equivocal, but suggestive.

There's got to be words distinguishing among private employers deciding who they want to work in their shop, public universities having a de facto ban on hiring half the political spectrum, and mobs shouting down speakers. 'Cancellation' is doing too much work.

David, remember when Bob Bork called his book tour the Bataan Death March? That was what? Five cities over a month? I have just two words of advice: Body double.
