<p>How is everyone holding up? I imagine most of us aren't spending a LOT of time thinking about intellectual freedom in the traditional sense right now, but I have been using some of my work-from-home time to catch up on some professional reading.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Last night I read a fascinating book specifically about freedom of speech on college and university campuses. The book is
<i>What Snowflakes Get Right: Free Speech, Truth, and Equality on Campus </i>by Ulrich Baer. I definitely found points to quibble with the author on, but since it's the first book-length treatment on the intersection of freedom of speech and issues of diversity,
equity, and equality I've come across, I really appreciated Baer's efforts to take the conversation there. His writing style is enjoyable and sometimes even funny, and he does a great job of putting current free speech debates into context. I think there's
a lot here that will inform further conversations about public libraries and other limited public forums.</p>

</p>
<p>Anyone else read it? I'd be curious what you thought!</p>
