Some rather concerning statistics cited re the state of play in the academic world: 25% self censor in academic publications, 33% during lectures or interviews. At the height of the McCarthy purges, 9% of social scientists self censored.
University lecturers are more afraid of being cancelled now than at the height of the McCarthy era. Of Liberal faculty members, "40% are afraid of losing their jobs or reputations due to their speech."
