What we have here is a milder version of the that did serious damage to America's colleges and universities in the heyday of Senator Joseph McCarthy. A new McCarthyism of the left will have the same chilling effect upon freedom of expression, and hence upon the quality of instruction in Harvard-Radcliffe College, as the old McCarthyism...
