Saying that G.O.P. politicians voicing support for the January 6 insurrection is “legitimate political discourse” is like saying open advocacy for pedophilia is “legitimate intellectual inquiry” for a priest or professor.
It’s time to sack these bozos.
If we live in a country where freedom of speech includes the right to openly advocate for insurrection and a military coup, soon we no longer will live in a country where there is any freedom of speech.
It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, if you advocate for a military coup and then say you didn't really mean it, you don't belong in any job, and certainly not in the government. Nuts. jonathanturley.org/2020/06/09/chi…
We all know that when we hear someone talk about why it's O.K. for adults to have sex with children, we are probably talking to a pedophile. When we hear someone talk about why the January 6 insurrectionists did nothing wrong, we are probably talking to an insurrectionist.

Trump 2024 will not be about conservatism or patriotism. It will be about race. This Trump supporter has been attacking me for months on a website with domain name wokekkk .com after I criticized Brian Leiter for supporting her lawsuit against Yale. Awful. letter.wiki/conversation/1…
I have repeatedly asked this republication of a defamatory Tweet about me to be taken down. There is ZERO evidence of a conspiracy by "fake News press" and law schools against the Federalist Society. These people have been at it for months. leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2021/09…
I am an independent, not a member of either party. But I have noticed a lot less race baiting (in fact none) coming out of the White House since January 20, 2021.
"Kershnar also reportedly said he didn’t think it was a 'blanket wrong' to have sex with a one-year-old."
Why was this man ever allowed on a college campus to begin with? Who are his supporters in this?
Truly disgusting. dailywire.com/news/professor…
Advocating for adult sex with children is not "doing philosophy" any more than supporting pedophilia is "doing theology."
Is Jeffrey Epstein the new Socrates?
These people are truly disgusting. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2022/02/s…
People defend January 6 as "legitimate political discourse" and defend the "academic freedom" of a philosophy professor on the New York State payroll to argue there's nothing morally wrong with adults having sex with babies. The age of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is upon us.
Napping while Black, somebody calls the cops.
Napping while Black, with a gun in bed in a private home, get shot dead.
Where are all the 2nd Amendment champions? How many of them have also heard of the 14th Amendment? sg.news.yahoo.com/legal-gun-owne…
Who authorized a no-knock search warrant in the case? Early in the morning? That's an invitation to a shoot out when people inside a home have no idea who's waking them up. Unless it's a terrorist cell or another extremely dangerous situation a no-knock warrant should be denied.
Minnesota politicians cover up the fact that they were aware of racial profiling and other problems in police departments but did nothing. That's on the record in Falcon Heights in 2016 (p. 6). Supervising the police does not mean looking the other way. falconheights.org/home/showdocum…
Yesterday a @UChicago prof who had Tweeted in support of a military coup and then took it down, blogged that I could be removed from teaching in a classroom if I didn't agree with him that a professor has a right to advocate for adult sex with children.
They can come and get me.
If there's one thing we learned from the words of Donald Trump and others on January 6, it is that if we want to live in a Country with free speech there have to be some limits, however minimal, on free speech. You can't yell "insurrection" in a crowded Capitol Building.
And I will repeat it here. There is no right for a professor to say we have "too many Asians in America" or that Black students are inferior and keep their job, at least not at a university that is obligated to educate students of all races. This is not Klan U.
There’s plenty of anti-Asian bias in elite universities (just ask Amy Wax). But gutting affirmative action for other discriminated against groups is not the answer.

Anti-Asian bias in academia is real. Instead of gutting affirmative action for other discriminated against minorities, elite universities that receive federal funds should be required to end admissions preferences for faculty children and rich alumni.
A university that solicits applications (and application fees) and has an undisclosed admissions preference for children of faculty and rich alumni is defrauding other applicants. That's what DOJ and state AG's need to look into, not fully disclosed affirmative action programs.
This terribly mishandled harassment case at MSU has now resulted in a lawsuit. Both MSU and Minnesota’s Board of Regents need to investigate.

A separate harassment, discrimination and retaliation lawsuit by a tenured professor against the University of Minnesota’s School of Music is headed to trial. Same problem. The Administrators don’t care.
These dirty old men picked the wrong woman to pick on.
