Or it's like, where's fire on this?

It's like, here's our lawsuit about it from six months ago.

So it's a favorite thing.

And also, Jon Stewart, Daily Show, like the whataboutism and the kind of like idea that these people must be hypocrites is something that –

Great as comedy, but as far as actually a rhetorical tactic that will get you to truth, just assuming that your opponent or just accusing your opponent of always being a hypocrite is not a good tactic for truth.

But by the way, it tends to always come from people who aren't actually consistent on free speech themselves.

And there are three ways I want to respond to this, which is just giving example after example of times where we defended people on both sides of every major issue, basically every major issue, whether it's Israel-Palestine, whether it's terrorism, whether it's gay marriage, we have been – abortion.

We have defended both sides of that argument.

The other part – and I call these the orphans of the culture war –

I really want to urge the media to start caring about free speech cases that actually don't have a political valence, that are actually just about good old-fashioned exercise of power against the little guy or little girl or little group on campus or off campus for that matter.

Because these cases happen – a lot of our litigation are just little people protesting.

There's regular people being told that they can't protest, that they can't hold signs.

And then the last part of the argument that I want people to really get is like, yeah, and by the way, right-wingers get in trouble too.

And there are attacks from the left.

And you should take those seriously too.

You should care when Republicans get in trouble.

You should care when California has a DEI program that requires this on California community colleges.

has a DEI program, a policy that actually requires even chemistry professors to work in different DEI ideas from intersectionality to anti-racism into their classroom, into their syllabus, etc.

This is a gross.

violation of academic freedom.
