I’m doing this soon at my local pub. Not only talking Gramsci but feeding people with three homemade breads too. Already booked out. There is no counter-hegemony without food, cooking/baking and people eating together.

For years I taught on school governor training programmes. My final slide of my final session was always ‘Billy McBone’ by Allan Ahlberg. My point - your job is to take care of the Billy M’s in your school - because there are Billy M’s in every school. RIP #allanahlberg

Two quotes from the same article. As with many of the US Right’s free speech evangelists - they are talking about no more than people’s right to state what the White House elite believe is acceptable. Academic freedom being diminished rapidly.
