Perhaps the formerly esteemed AAUP has now been compromised and homogenized, with only one point of view being represented on certain hot wire topics.
I’m no doctor, but I felt somewhat similar about the AMA, when so many doctors came out supporting mandatory Covid vaccines for all, with no exceptions. That movement was preceded by the many doctors who were encouraging Sex Change Surgery with very little review of each patient’s case.
The AMA and the ABA would have no members if it weren’t for liability insurance. Both are actually unions and control the supply of doctors and lawyers by accreditation policies and state licensing exams. If you can fog a mirror you can practice in ND, but you’d better be up on things in FL or CA. They don’t want retired professionals to practice in those states as it would crush fees charged by both.
