@benshapiro At this point, I've run out of steam, not examples. And in case it wasn't obvious, all of these involve faculty or deans who have been terminated/disciplined because of rightwing attacks on their constitutionally protected speech.
@benshapiro The only difference between me and Ben Shapiro is that I've been paying attention.

New from me: Last June, the Canadian government adopted a new definition of anti-Semitism to better identify and combat bigotry. Unfortunately, that definition poses a potentially serious threat to campus free speech.

universityaffairs.ca/opinion/in-my-…
Simply put, the new definition explicitly equates anti-Semitism with certain kinds of speech critical of Israel. Supporters insist that this is a harmless innovation, one meant purely to educate and aid in gathering data.

We have good reason to doubt them.
Supporters said the same thing when the US State Department adopted this definition a while back. Then, in 2017, the Department of Education began applying it domestically. The result has been a host of lawsuits and federal investigations over anti-Israeli speech on campus.

I confess to being a little bit frustrated with this piece by ⁦@Musa_alGharbi⁩. After describing how the latest research shows partisanship has little-to-no effect on how profs grade, he attributes this happy finding to...laziness. nationalreview.com/2019/09/ideolo…
Fear of anti-conservative bias in faculty grading is a major part of the Right’s critique of higher ed. It is also something that a lot of students are convinced takes place, to their detriment as learners. Evidence that this fear is misplaced ought to be a cause for celebration!
Also: conservatives have insisted for years that they are the victims of rampant partisan grading. Surveys from FIRE, Heterodox, and College Pulse all show this. If the evidence indicates that this fear is misplaced, maybe that should affect how we view other fears by cons.

I see this a lot. It's the last resort of the people who, when presented with evidence that liberal faculty do get fired for their speech, still want to insist conservatives are the "real" victims. The thing is, conservative profs get away with horrific speech all the time.
Like Mitchell Langbert (CUNY), who argued last year that sexual assault is a male right of passage, and that any man who hasn't assaulted a woman has no place in public office. He later said that he wasn't serious, but I suspect Klinzman wasn't either.

nytimes.com/2018/10/04/nyr…
Or Jason Hill (DePaul), who made the case for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians earlier this summer. He, like Langbert, still have their jobs, by the way.

Went back to Quora for a break from my studies and found something interesting.
Someone criticised on Quora for treating #Chandrayaan2 mission like a "cricket match".

Well, it did put a lot of smiles on my face despite the tone of the answer.
quora.com/What-do-you-li…
I started thinking - What he said is true. We didn't give enough attention to @isro before Mangalyaan and #Chandrayaan2 .

What led to a sudden surge of support for #ISRO and the advent of hashtags #IsroPerGarvHai #ISROweareproudofyou ?

Let me explain.

In Northern France in the town of Belleau, there's a cemetery with 2,288 uniform, alabaster headstones honoring the U.S. service members killed in a battle there in World War One. On a wall there are inscribed 1,060 additional names of the missing-in-action. (thread)
One of those killed was U.S. Navy LTJG Dr. Weedon E. Osborne, a dental officer who was awarded the Medal of Honor after rescuing countless wounded in battle and was killed while carrying a fellow wounded officer out of harm's way.
I'm not surprised that today Trump cancelled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, France to honor service members killed in WWI and blamed it on the rain. I'm not surprised because as a military veteran, I have watched him continuously disrespect the military.

The ceremonies have begun. #ialegis senators have been brought into the House chamber, where #iagov Reynolds will deliver her address. We'll also get the state Supreme Court justices and state department heads.
The #ialegis House is never more full than on Condition of the State Day.

1/ So, I can't stop thinking about this @ChuckGrassley quote about investors vs. spenders and the estate tax.

There's something deep going on here, deeper than broken politics.

2/ It has to do with the way that great amounts of wealth change your *brain*. There's research to show that inequality makes people less empathetic. Allow me a moment to highlight some of that research, and why it matters.
3/ I'm going to summarize the stellar work of Paul Piff, @pkpiff, Psychology professor at UC Irvine. Read him in more detail. Or at the very least, watch this extraordinary TED talk he gave:
