"Censorship In The Sciences" Conference Now Available On Video

It may have been the biggest event the "mainsteam media" didn't cover in 2025

No apologies are necessary if you didn’t know about the Censorship in the Sciences Conference that took place in January at the University of Southern California. You and 340 million other Americans can’t be expected to know much about an event that the “mainstream media,” in its infinite wisdom, didn’t deem “newsworthy” enough to cover.

But the event was newsworthy — and arguably very newsworthy — for anyone who worries about how the “woke mind virus” (Elon Musk’s phrase) that has taken much of academia by storm is also co-opting, corrupting, and politicizing the important science our universities do. And one beauty of the “digital age” is that the “mainstream media” monopoly on “news” no longer exists. The gates our former “gatekeepers” guarded have been torn down. The entire event has been captured — voila!! — on video!

So here, through the miracle of modern technology, are links to all the conference highlights, free of charge, to be viewed at your leisure. The links below were all helpfully aggregated on the Stanford Alumni for Free Speech and Critical Thinking website, which you really must bookmark.
