Disruption and Context: Analyzing Free Speech in Academia

This is -sort of- part 8 of our series, Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

S2E6 of Things Fell Apart has yet more anti-woke propaganda and credulous reporting. But before we even get to the meat of that, Ronson plays a few audio clips of some anti-woke scare stories. I decided it would be a good idea to focus on those and do some side quests, which are also still relevant to his BS framing but allow us to take some detours and a break from 100% Ronson.

This first one: Did students at Yale Law shut down a free speech event? Were police called? Why did they do that? How snowflakey could these woke snowflake students get? Orrrrrrr was maybe something else was going on...
