They might look back at the French Revolution, when purger followed purged to the guillotine, or over to Massachusetts, where the "reds-in-education" issue is the stick Democrats use to beat Republicans. By blandly assuming the attack on academic freedom can stop before it reaches their own ideas, non-liberals show not only intolerance, but ignorance of the nature of the danger...
