Jon Haidt on The Coddling of the American Mind and How We Should Address It

Haidt says student-driven speech suppression is a relatively new phenomenon. “It was after the Yale protests that everything really spread,” Haidt says, “and that was only thirteen or fourteen months ago.”
According to Haidt, one of the root causes of the shift toward a leftist academia was the Baby Boomers who rushed to avoid the Vietnam war. However, the ideas behind PC and microaggressions didn’t catch on for several decades. “The thing people were not expecting, was that the students are the ones who are demanding [political correctness] now,” Haidt says. “Before, it was typically the students who were demanding more freedom.”
This can have a chilling effect on discourse at universities, Haidt says. “At some schools, the men feel they can’t speak and then they go and vote for Trump.”
Reason TV's Nick Gillespie sat down with Haidt at the International Students for Liberty Conference to discuss the rise of political correctness and the cultural implications it brings with it.
