We're joined by arguably one of the nation's most prominent experts on what's going on on university campuses. We're joined by Greg Lukianoff, president and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, who is the coauthor of a new book, The Cancelling of the American Mind.

You opened the book with the story of this art history professor at Hamline University in Minnesota in 2022, who showed her students a 14th century painting that included a representation of the prophet Muhammad.
The book is The Cancelling of the American Mind.
