PUSHING BACK AGAINST WOKE IDIOCY AND PRO-PRC SYCOPHANCY: Academic Freedom Alliance stands with USD Law Professor in China Controversy. “Not only is the interpretation of Professor Smith’s phrasing as a slur based on race or national origin a tendentious misreading of the blog post in question, but the suggestion that a single phrase in a single blog post commenting on the behavior of the Chinese government and international health agencies can trigger the procedures of the university’s harassment policy sends a chilling message to all faculty.”

That’s what it’s meant to do.

Plus: “The Academic Freedom Alliance calls upon USD leadership to adhere to its academic freedom principles by rescinding its denunciation of Professor Smith and terminating all disciplinary proceedings against him based on his March 10, 2021 blog post.”
