I the follow up post I added “In the discovery process for a broad suit she should be able to slap down some of the source of this, but it will become a full time job.”
The issue with individual instances like this that someone is trying to have a career within one of these infestations of marxism, and you have to abandon your career and make the fight a full time job. With academics, they rarely have the resources to do something like that — that is what the facts bear out as little as I like it.
Should she fight this climate of Stalinism to destroy it, certainly. But that individual sacrifice is rarely made. When Palin realized that Alaska would suffer if as Governor she could not spend the time required for defense against a relentless vendetta that was allowed under Alaska law, she had to chose should the State suffer or should she resign and fight it outside, she chose the latter option and the result is some call her a quitter and some say she did it for the good of the State.
This professor/instructor has a similar decision because the academic culture of departments and cliques has unlimited time to conspire against her career in that environment. If she can mount a fight, I am all for it, but it is the citizens of the state who need to clean out the rat nest, not just one individual on a mission.
