In my day, people including academics had lots of different opinions and felt free to air them all without the threat of losing their job or being attacked by a howling mob.
As a long time supporter of the ACLU, I was proud of the Skokie case, even though what they were defending was abominable. Sadly, I don't think the ACLU would do that today. I still support them, but they aren't the free speech absolutists they used to be.
