Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Everybody, welcome back at the Tom Woods Show show our great friend Vavake Ramaswami entrepreneur author and presidential candidate is with us again today

we have an awful lot of things to talk about, but Vavake, you and I are

Harvard grads and we are, I want to say a little bit about the universities today

because of an article you have in the Wall Street Journal, but if I may I want to

tell you that next year is a reunion year for me and that means I have to submit my update for the class report on what I've been up to the past five years.

So I have one paragraph on family and professional milestones and then I have this second paragraph I want to share with you.

My wife insists they're not going to print this. This is what I wrote.

I truly cherish my memories from our old Harvard days. In recent years I've felt rather more

alienated from the class. I don't want to be able to predict my peers political

opinions but unfortunately I can. I know what everyone thinks about Ukraine, COVID lockdowns, gender theory, and whatever the next

elite obsession happens to be, and in our Facebook group everyone takes for granted that

all right thinking people agree with them. It would be nice to

encounter a few non-conformists in the class here and there, but perhaps that's not

really what they trained us to be. What do you think the chances are that getting in the

old class report?

I'd like to think that the chance of it getting the class report is actually decent.

The reason is if this was something you were saying on the front end of it, it's not going to make the front page of it.

But it still allows them to have the veneer of saying that they foster free speech and open debate

except for when it's too far in front then I think they would silence it.

So that's the cynical answer to your question.
