Seems a tad extreme to me. But what do you think?

I also think it a tad extreme. But it is duplicitous to lament deterioration in academic standards wrt to radicals without 1) trying to examine why they are radical and 2) trying to examine if there is significant academic bias against even exploring 1). People, who fail to look for explanations, seldom find them.

For example a single paragraph on an issue like Jimmy Carter’s book, and the reaction to that needs to be addressed as well. Perhaps Mr. England would apply all his labels to Carter as well. Do you?

Please keep firmly in mind that almost all my former white Rhodesian friends have been chased out of Zimbabwe for a similar issue: Land theft by their ancestors about 100 years ago. You know the old saying about sins of the fathers and 3'rd & 4'th generations?

Or is asking that question tantamount to an accusation of anti-Semitism?

Err, no. I think far fewer things are anti-Semitism than what PC has succeeded in ingraining in European & American culture. Since Mr England was pointing out the weaknesses of PC (I agree actually with most his points) I found it glaring that he should not see the damage caused by PC on the flip side of the ME mirror. That was my point.
