The progressive left of today has deviated far from the “live-and-let-live” ethos of classical liberalism, Dave Rubin, the host of The Rubin Report, says in his new book, “Don’t Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason.”

Instead of being the champion of free speech—“I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it”—the left of today now bans controversial speakers from university campuses and shuts down dissenting speech, Rubin argues.
