OMG. Where’s the graphic of leftist shills attacking any conservative statment ever made on campus and driving the professor off campus and out of a job? NPR would never show that one.

“Right wing” papers are attacked for highlighting statistics that leftists dont like

“left wing” papers are attacked because they demonize an entire race of people

I think this is called ‘fighting fire with fire’.
Sometimes it works pretty well.

People on the right don't have a monopoly on threats to free speech or academic freedom.

Do tell. This is hilarious. Anything to the right of Trotsky is NPR's idea of "right" so it would be sort of difficult to see one coming from the Left since there isn't one on campus. Only reasonable people and White Supremacists. And, mirabile dictu!, quite a few of the latter.

When you have entire departments dedicated to race-baiting and misandry, then yes, they're likely to get a response, and it's likely to be anonymous because known dissidents are ruthlessly repressed. Cry me a river.

So true! For every right-wing attack on lefty professors, there are at least three left-wing attacks on right-wing (or even moderate) professors. We just don’t hear about them because it doesn’t fit the New Left agenda.

The New Left just doesn’t like it now that they are being pushed back on. Heh, heh, heh,....

Ponce teaches political science at Diablo Valley College, a community college

Ponce [is]urging the board of governors of his community college's district to [make] clear that the colleges will stand behind its scholars no matter how provocative their work, as long as they are grounded in research and evidence.

Indeed.

Anything less could have a chilling effect on cutting-edge research at Diablo community college.

“Ponce teaches political science at Diablo Valley College, a community college in California’s East Bay. “

Same college as Masked Antifa suspect Eric Clanton taught.

The pretrial for former Diablo Valley College adjunct professor Eric Clanton has been set for Feb. 22, 2018.

Clanton was charged with four felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor offense of wearing a mask to avoid identification back in May.

The charges stem from an April 15 protest in Berkeley, where a masked individual attacked attendees of the “Patriot Rally” with a bike lock.

Haven’t gone to Caltech for a long time, since Spanish on Thursday who’s time corresponds to the former’s Physics Research Lecture. Though I miss it. Will have to look to schedule some off-time there.

At least from the outside, and my own naïvete, Caltech seems a steady scientific institution. Though I’m fortunate to have been able to live vicariously since I was a kid. Always the pretended physicist when there. No one really knew.

Leftist Professors are the result of REAL Russian interference.
