“A group of students at the University of Southern Maine in Portland”
They say only one student was willing to publicly agree with the professor. They never say how many were demanding the firing. It’s probably just under half. After all, it is in the Education department.
It might be just one or two activists, and the rest being too afraid to not go along.
In the public education field, being labeled “un-woke” will end your career before it even starts.
