3. The idea that students are “censorious”--let alone "mad"--is a false narrative that pundits, propagandists, and mainstream media have aggressively promoted.

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/
