  1. “‘The law’s provision of civil damages means that private actors — including those with seemingly endless resources — can bog you down in costly and distracting litigation.…This means that Palestinians and those who support their rights become ‘high risk’ — and those who they rely on — charities, funders, banks or social media companies — are chilled from further engagement. The goal is to isolate Palestinians.’”

  5. Why are college kids terrified? Q&A with Rikki Schlott and Greg Lukianoff
    by ReasonTV on YouTube

    Rikki Schlott and Greg Lukianoff discuss their new book, "The Canceling of the American Mind"

    "We've taught young people that any of their missteps or any of their heterodox opinions are grounds to tear them down. That's no way to grow up."

    That was journalist Rikki Schlott speaking before a sold-out crowd on Monday night at a live taping of The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie podcast in New York City. Schlott, 23, teamed up with Greg Lukianoff to co-write The Canceling of the American Mind.

    Lukianoff, 49, is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and co-author with Jonathan Haidt of the bestselling  The Coddling of the American Mind (2018). Schlott is a fellow at FIRE, a New York Post columnist, and a co-host of the Lost Debate podcast.

    Cancel culture, they argue, constitutes a serious threat to free speech and open inquiry in academia and the workplace, and is best understood as a battle for power, status, and dominance.
