In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia sits down with Ilya Shapiro—legal scholar, constitutional expert, and director at the Manhattan Institute—to discuss his personal battle with cancel culture and what it reveals about the collapse of free speech and meritocracy in higher education.
Ilya opens up about his resignation from Georgetown Law after a tweet sparked national backlash, the toll it took on his growing family, and why he believes America's law schools are being hollowed out by DEI bureaucracy and ideological extremism. Drawing from his latest book, Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites, Ilya exposes how elite institutions are failing the next generation of legal minds—and what we must do to restore truth, integrity, and fairness.
This episode is a sobering and insightful look into the state of academia, the future of the legal system, and the courage it takes to stand for what’s right when the mob comes calling.
