so students can contact you with questions and find out more about your research.

My research comes from VERY old books and LOTS of beople believe it too. Shouldn't that be good enough?

Here’s someone who agrees with you that academic freedom has constraints imposed by elite consensus:

“Writing to Houghton Mifflin Company, Hansen asks for changes in the textbook to reflect what he considers to be the truth and consensus:

Apparently, there is no room for debate in the classroom on these issues. Apparently also there is no uncertainty. Hansen also makes a mention of “so called activist scientists”. I think he proved the point about activist scientists quite well with this letter.”

Belief does not equate truth.
