Here’s a bit of free speech for you: Not only didn’t Jim Sleeper lie when he wrote that the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education posted the video of the screaming Yale student that FIRE president Greg Lukianoff had taken; Lukianoff himself lied, blatantly – an all-too familiar tactic – when he claimed that Sleeper had lied about it.
Whatever your political persuasion, a college education should obligate you to understand that Sleeper had reported, in three different reports, that it was Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller that picked up the FIRE video and attached the student’s name and a photo of her family home and its assessed value – sleazy stuff that FIRE deplored when it became public. Read Sleeper’s rebuttal, if you dare, and see who was lying

And then, if you have an even stronger stomach for truth, read this short column in the Yale Daily News.

We need to grow up if we want to rescue liberal education from the damage that some liberals have done o it. We won’t rescue it by adopting Trump-like tactics of lying to disguise lying.
