Rikki Schlott, co-author (with Greg Lukianoff) of The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust, Destroys Institutions, and Threatens Us All—but There Is a Solution, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Rikki discuss the origins of cancel culture, why free speech ideals are the best way to run American institutions, from social media platforms to universities, and whether the fallout from student and faculty protests against Israel constitute "cancel culture."
