There are ample examples in the book where student speech is what he complains about. He just merely frames this as threats to the speech of others.

If you're talking about the Heckler's Veto, then...I guess?

But: 1. It's trivially true the Hecklers Veto results in less speech, not more, and most "free speech absolutists" on both sides oppose it

2. This is not a double standard; he also opposes the right wing using the Hecklers Veto

  • No I am not talking about that.

    Do you genuinely believe that if Columbia University had an official policy that deadnaming a trans person was an expellable offense and that the official position of the university was that the Israeli occupation of Gaza was a crime and that advocating for Zionist policies was against the rules that Lukianoff would consider this acceptable and that FIRE would take it off their list of criticized universities, as they have done for Liberty?
