The Real Enemies Of Academic Freedom

Not liberals, who are willing to use an old Catholic exercise in a way that makes today's Catholics and their secular allies in the right-wing chattering class nervous.  Thank goodness they weren't successful in their efforts to victimize this man.

But it doesn't mean that they won't try again.  If you have any connection to an institution of higher learning, whether as a student, a teacher, an administrator, a trustee or an employee, don't be intimidated by the false cry of "fire" by conservatives against supposed liberal bias in education.  Know where the real bias lies.

And push back against it with all your might.  It's work that can easily justify a lifetime.
