It’s tough to challenge orthodoxies in scholarly discourses these days. If you do, be prepared to be attacked, to face wild & false accusations of misconduct, publication irregularities, hysterical calls for retraction ☹️ FYI @HdxAcademy @CathyYoung63 @CHSommers @LegInsurrection
@HdxAcademy @CathyYoung63 @CHSommers @LegInsurrection Another disturbing case here of professional opprobrium & threats being issued to kill a journal article (in this case a set of articles) 😩 FYI @liel @marksjo1 #academicfreedom 1/
@HdxAcademy @CathyYoung63 @CHSommers @LegInsurrection @liel @marksjo1 Instead of grounding dissent in arguments & evidence (great!) we get overreactions—a noisy campaign to censor the publications & scrub them from the scholarly record (not OK!). It legitimizes threats as a way to get controversial journal articles revoked ☹️ @insidehighered 2/
@HdxAcademy @CathyYoung63 @CHSommers @LegInsurrection @liel @marksjo1 @insidehighered This behavior really impacts junior scholars/faculty who learn from episodes like this to keep their heads down & their mouths firmly shut. Sad 😔. #academia #viewpointdiversity /end
