We are at the crisis moment for our country, digital civil rights, free speech principles, and colleges.
We are at the crisis moment for our country, digital civil rights, free speech principles,
and schools.

The problem is code and culture.
And if we don't fix it now
-- or keep letting partisan hacks on both sides program in their ideological insanity --
