Heterodox Academy has a new president, one of Charles Koch's "pet professors" who has also received 7-figure funding from the same foundation pushing the anti-CRT movement. Viewpoint diversity! insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
I snark because I've sort of given up on trying to engage the HxA figures on mutual productive exchange. This was my most recent attempt. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
HxA has every right to exist and can choose whomever they want to lead them and advocate for whatever they want, but I am frustrated by the refusal to categorize them where they belong. They are funded by the same people as The Federalist, Daily Caller, Turning Point, etc...
HxA is funded and now run by someone who has received significant funding from the same groups that are funding the attacks on our democracy. The same group that funds Prager U. popular.info/p/the-obscure-…
HxA is a partisan organization, funded by partisans. I don't care if they have Cornel West on their board of advisors. The organization is funded by the far right. It's well documented.
I'm not big on calling for people to do something I would do in their place, but I am interested in how the august advisory council of HxA feels about the sources of funding and those sources anti-democratic actions.
I actually hate writing these kinds of blog posts. They make me anxious because I'm not huge on confrontation. I always end up pulling my punches on the titles too. I should've put the subhead as the headline. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
