“Bertrand Russell is well known as a philosopher and mathematician. But few know that during his lifetime, he was cancelled — to use the contemporary term — by the New York judiciary and by mid-twentieth-century religious conservatives. Both those conservatives today who seek to ban books and regulate curricula and those progressives who wish to censor everyone who disagrees with them would do well to reflect on the Bertrand Russell case.” (09/15/23)
