In this episode of Radio Free Campus, co-hosts Steve McGuire and Justin Garrison talk about Tyler Austin Harper’s recent essay on leaving Bates College because its excessive racial politics made him feel like a tokenized minority. They also discuss a new report that claims civil dialogue is a right-wing conspiracy to silence dissent. Steve and Justin also explain the AAUP’s official move into election politics. The show hosts end by announcing MTSU’s Michael Federici as this episode’s “Hero of the People” and the Uncivil Collective as RFC’s “Apparatchik of the Month.”
