The campus mob strikes again at Stanford

Left-wing mobs trying to shut down “controversial” speakers on college campuses is not exactly a new phenomenon. But what just happened at Stanford University may be the most ironic campus censorship effort of all time.

On Feb. 25, two left-of-center economists, Larry Summers, a moderate Democrat, and Emmanuel Saez, a progressive, participated in a debate about the merits of a so-called “wealth tax.” As the Stanford Review reports, this event was held as part of — you can’t make this up — a class titled “Democracy and Disagreement.”
