The IPA is supposed to champion unlimited free speech and is staunchly opposed to the censorship of any kind of philosophical discourse.
So here we have a former fellow or more correctly bloviating ignoramus seriously suggesting that any university that steps out of line, as defined by his right-thinking blowhards that infest the IPA swamp should be censored.
