It's really not, it's just that the right is loud and obnoxious about it while the left is smart and subtle.

The left isn't better from a moral perspective just because they suppress their taboo ideas by quietly influencing school curricula and sanitizing books at the publisher level rather than hamfistedly legislating the "problematic ideas" away.

Both are reprehensible, but one is less competent. I honestly view the left as more dangerous when it comes to censorship precisely because it's not hamfisted.
