Today I learned that the Israeli Consul General to the Southeastern US has a pressure campaign to try to get a *grad student* at @UNChistory kicked off of the course they are teaching.
I try to avoid profanity, so understand what I mean when I say...kindly fuck the fuck off.
You can read more about this absurdity here: https://theintercept.com/2021/09/28/israel-palestine-unc-academic-freedom/ … The instructor, Kylie Broderick - who specializes, to be clear, in Middle East history and so is perfectly qualified to teach it - has some very strong views on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
And I can't say I share all of those strong views. But they are hardly some sort of insane position utterly outside of the realm of debate.
And the idea that an official Israeli "diplomat," @AnatSultanDadon would set out to pressure a university to retaliate against a...
...grad student instructor, try to use the precarity of her funding and position to silence her is a gross assault on the principles of academic freedom. I am glad UNC held strong & refused to be used in such a shameful way. I only wish they'd used more profanity doing it.
But hey, @IsraelMFA - you might want to check up on your diplomats, because one of them is making an ass of herself. And for @RepKManning, who apparently decided to join the pressure campaign against Broderick, what the hell were you thinking?
Again, I don't share some of Broderick's views on these points, but academic freedom - and freedom of speech generally - isn't real freedom if it is only extended to views we share. Both principles are the freedom to disagree and to hold unpopular views.
So it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is that @AnatSultanDadon and @RepKManning tried to use their power and position to silence legitimate academic activity and speech by a grad. instructor well-qualified to have and express her own views.
And they can fuck right off.
