THIS WEEK THEY’RE COMING FOR PHILIP CARL SALZMAN:  Next week it may be you or me.

McGill University students and student organization have written a lunatic Open Letter Demanding the Overhaul of McGill’s Statement of Academic Freedom.  In particular it targets Philip Carl Salzman, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, which apparently said things about the Middle East that they didn’t like.

The National Association of Scholars has posted a petition on change.org asking McGill to instead issue a muscular defense of Dr. Salzman and of academic freedom.  I signed it.  Maybe you’ll want to as well.
