The left is toxic. Freedom is sweet. Between tenure and happiness...farewell, liberal academia.

I wish him well.

FWIW, I used to teach ethics courses; did it for 25 years. I am no longer hired even as an adjunct, in part because they know my stance on the issues, even though in the classroom I was adamant about presenting all sides equally. As of now, the only courses I teach at the college level are generic music appreciation-based, and I'm waiting for the day that it is no longer a safe space.

At one time I thought myself to be a target because of my views; now I realize that I was getting out while the getting was still good.

Even music can get politicized. We really can’t escape the battle, and safe spaces that aren’t God are attempts to dodge it that won’t last forever. At some point we have to take that bull by the horns in the name of God.
