HANS HOPPE VICTORY PETITION, STRIKE A BLOW AGAINST ACADEMIC PC
HANS HERMANN-HOPPE VICTORY BLOG (PETITION) ^
Posted on 02/24/2005 8:09:27 AM PST by Austin Willard Wright
Academic freedom is under assault, particularly for those whose writing, teaching, and research challenges dominant political ideologies. The special concern of this letter is the case of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Professor of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
As professors, students, and citizens, we support Professor Hoppe in his battle for academic freedom against the assault on his freedom to teach by the administration of his University. The developments surrounding the harassment of Professor Hoppe threaten not only the interests of one intellectual but also the rights and freedoms of everyone in the academic community.

Sign the Hans-Hermann victory petition! Hoppe is a professor at UNLV who was disciplined by administrators because a student complained. The student was "offended" because Hoppe said that gays had shorter time preferences in their behavior. Because of international protests, UNLV had to partially back down. The petition will keep up the pressure and send a positive message about the importance of academic freedom.

Couple the UNLV debacle with the Summers-Harvard affair, and it seems PC on campus may be suffering a slow decline.

Possibly, but it is important to keep up the counterattack. The PC types never rest and are always trying to slip something over when nobody is looking.
