The New York Times has taken a sudden interest in the cancelation of people for their speech - just for tiny little things like hooting over the public execution of Charlie Kirk.

Ann asks Amy about the accusations against her, the legal argument she is making, the state of her legal case, the problem with universities generally, and Trump’s heroic attempt to reform them.Contribute to the Amy Wax GoFundMe Legal Defense Fund here.
