This was great and informative debate. I'm with Rufo on this one. Having spent a large chunk of my career in what we here in Canada call post-secondary education, it is abundantly clear the foxes are fully in charge of the henhouses. To expect them to self-critique and self-regulate seems naive, almost delusional. The only way to combat the DEI/Woke ideology is to starve it of money. And since in the public education system a lot of that money comes from taxpayers, it hardly seems undemocratic to me to do just that if that's what people vote for. Sadly, we are usually a decade behind you in social trends so I am not optimistic about the ideological situation up here.

I see that some people were upset that Rufo seemed to go ad hominem. I don't think he had much choice as Mounk was pursuing the dual strategies of misrepresentation and talking non-stop till someone dies of old age.
