Politicon 2017 is July 29-30, and Boing Boing (me, Xeni Jardin) will be in the mix

Not to mention Proops (who has had some…interesting…things to say about Coulter on his entertaining podcast).

I do think a panel about censorship on campus might benefit from having a panelist from a campus. There has been a serious ongoing debate in higher education for over 50 years about how to handle speech rights on campus, it has been especially active the last 3-4 years in both the ‘popular’ academic media (the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Education, Academe) and in professional societies and in the blogs of faculty in law, philosophy, political science, American studies, and many other fields. To me this feels like a bunch of people from down the street having a public debate about what color I should paint the interior walls of my house.
