  4. Much to agree with in this Bret Stephens column.

    Like Michelle Goldberg in her column earlier in the week, I think the university presidents walked into a trap. Nevertheless, the
    point Stephens makes about double standards
    deserves attention from the the left. Such attention matters for three reasons.

    In the first place, institutional antisemitism, as exemplified by this campus double standard, is an evil that must be opposed. I disagree with those like @serge who think that making campus speech codes even more expansively censorious that they now are is the right way to oppose this institutional antisemitism, but that it must be opposed I am in no doubt. I believe that US universities need to ensure that opinions, even those of a profoundly offensive nature, can be heard and debated on campus, while behaviors that imperil Jewish students, staff, and faculty need more vigorous public deterrence. What has happened, for example, to that American Studies professor at UC-Davis who was making violent threats against Jewish journalists and their families? Merely scrubbing her name from the university website will not suffice; a public statement of disciplinary measures needs to be made.

    Secondly, the double standard makes the academic left look unprincipled and undermines efforts to combat the populist anti-intellectualism propagated by right wing politicians and media outlets.

    Thirdly, the double standard question should prompt the left both in the USA and beyond to move beyond reflexive sloganeering to a deeper debate about the place of liberal values like freedom of expression in the thought of the left and the relationship of activism to the academy.
