People like Churchill are not going to be able to keep getting away with it.

A different subject. You seem to think the big issue of our time is to defame academics who are not right wing. It's been apparent for some time that many on the right have no taste for critical commentary. And are trying to suppress it.

All of us should consider attacks on such beyond the pale. Nadine uses the phrase "constructive criticism" to say such is acceptable. The problems with that term are obvious, but most central is its distaste for criticism it doesn't like. One might ask what is the point of criticism if it's all likeable criticism.

But the more important point is that much of these attempts are like Pipes, attempts to rein in free speech. To label some speech as traitorous. Not acts; speech.
