Original Note:
It’s important to note that the “leading historian” is considered to be a “conservative historian” by some of his peers. He was at the center of a free-speech scandal against a liberal student at his university. He also publicly endorsed a conservative candidate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Ferguson https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/1/17417042/niall-ferguson-stanford-emails
