In recent years hundreds of high-profile 'free speech' incidents
have rocked US college campuses. Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Ann
Coulter and other right-wing speakers have faced considerable
protest, with many being disinvited from speaking. These incidents
are widely circulated as examples of the academy's intolerance
towards conservative views. But this response is not the
spontaneous outrage of the liberal colleges. There is a darker
element manufacturing the crisis, funded by political operatives,
and designed to achieve specific political outcomes. If you follow
the money, at the heart of the issue lies the infamous and
ultra-libertarian Koch donor network. Grooming extremist
celebrities, funding media platforms that promote these
controversies, developing legal organizations to sue universities
and corrupting legislators, the influence of the Koch network runs
deep. We need to abandon the 'campus free speech' narrative and
instead follow the money if we ever want to root out this dangerous
network from our universities.
