>1) Marcuse wasn't embraced at large by the new left until the 70's
lol

>2) Showing that Marcuse had some effect on the counter culture still does not account for your claims that the frankfurt school or any of it members influenced identity politics to any significant degree. the new left had nothing to do with identity politics, which only really caught on in the 80's.
Angela Davis studied under Marcuse. Identity politics is most certainly a product of the new left.

>Also, genuine, non-rhetorical question: where have people argued "speech codes" into law (or attempted to)? My understanding is that universities had them in classrooms, which obviously doesn't violate free speech laws.
My point was that these codes infantilize the student body. Why should universities be in acting speech codes? Speech codes are hindrance to flow of ideas that intellectual debate thrives on.
