Putney D. on Arm's Length

I agree with a lot of this, especially the part about George and West needing to confront the thorny specifics of those more extreme potential cases directly. That said, in practice it seems like there's a lot of middle ground where it's not nearly as blatant. While I also agree that "viewpoint diversity" doesn't quite make sense for a lot of classes, I have seen plenty of attempts to force certain views and conclusions in many of those same kinds of courses. One might have a GIS course themed around "environmental racism" or an economics course required to discuss "systematic disparities between marginalized groups." The "solutions" being imposed from above, especially the ham-fisted way the Indiana law is constructed that doubles-down on centralized censorship, aren't helping and are generally exacerbating the problems of politicization. But I don't think these concerns came out of nowhere and it would behoove academia to have a better response.
