Well, The High and Mighty of New York Times says a new threat to academic freedom is emerged to new website launched last week called Professor watch List. The watch list names two hundred college professors who, according to students, spread leftist propaganda in their classrooms that are biased against conservative students. The mere existence of this list is supposedly a threat to academic freedom. Judio says. Our Pino, an associate professor of history at Kent State, is on the list.
He complains that the goal of the site is to shame and defame professors. Other critics warned the site will be used to harass professors or maybe even sabotage their careers. Not so, says Charlie Kirk, the executive director of Turning Point USA, which started the watch list. He says that it isn't a secret that some college professors are totally
out of line, and it's time to expose them. I cannot tell you how many calls I've taken over the years some college students and parents describing the liberal prop a game to These kids are routinely exposed to in class, and the hateful treatment they've received at liberal universities I mean they have to endure ridicule, bullying, and blatant hostility, bad grades, all of that in silence for fear their grades will suffer if they speak up. The Professor watch
List is not a threat to academic freedom. It makes the point that conservatives have academic freedom too, which is a point long overdue.
