The sad thing about a lot of these arguments is that, they’re beautiful in some ways, but they’re too idealizstic. I want to believe is that all we have to do is believe in the power of classical liberalism and the spirit of Thomas Jefferson will bless the American future. But the problem is structural and probably economic.

Besides, Even University of Austin the free speech university is suffering under the weight of its own ideological donors.
