Disciplinary and court hearings are no places to confront objectionable ideas

Bravo! And well said! Of course, over the last half century and more, in fact where freedom of expression has been challenged by such cases, it has become well-established that even odious ideas are protected. A fortiori in the academy where the marketplace of ideas also serves the public interest in the pursuit of science. We foreclose such freedom at our peril.

There is also the frequent conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism or opposition to the activities of the State of Israel. Some folk are deluded into thinking that they are the same, that any opinion opposed to what Israel is doing is automatically antisemitic when it is not.

"marketplace ideal": is that what it is?
