"'A Lot Has Changed in the Past Ten to Fifteen Years'"

"Other moral panics in recent history—around comic books, Satanism, and marijuana, for instance—fell by the wayside after they became so unhinged that reasonable people turned away.  But the Sensitivity Era appears far from over. The unavoidable takeaway from Szetela's sharply-etched and powerfully argued book is that left-wing illiberalism has been institutionalized. It's already deeply entrenched in schools, libraries, literary agencies, and publishing houses."

John McMillan at The Dispatch reviews Adam Szetela's That Book Is Dangerous! How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing.
