Marquette University has banned a tenured professor, John McAdams, from Marquette University until further notice. This is because he published a controversial blog post about another professor, Cheryl Abbate, who told a student, “If you don’t support gay marriage, drop my class.”How do we construct an adequate dam against the dog vomit?
Whatever happened to intellectual freedom? Always thought that was a lefty idea.
ReplyDeleteOld Catholic colleges used to fire profs like Abbate I'm a heartbeat, not those I'm opposition.Maybe it is indeed so very late in the damned day.
ReplyDelete"Intellectual freedom" is a rather imprecise, elastic term. Consider the current state of post-American "culture," where we indulge such nonsense as transgenderism, subsidized solar energy, and moral equivalence between Western values and those of Islam.
