      It's always cute when the "cancel culture crowd" is accused of ignoring a story no one has heard of. Have any of Azarova's supporters tried to publicize it? (also, I see a leading academic org. in Canada is sanctioning the school over this.)https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1388890472089718785 …

      University of Toronto law school hiring committee unanimously decided to offer Valentina Azarova a position as director of human rights program. Top donor to school calls to object over her writings on Israel/Palestine. Job offer withdrawn. Cancel culture crowd: silence.

      Human Rights Watch -- not an obscure organization -- has spoken out. Yet the cancel culture grifters ignored them.

      Why have you ignored this story until now, Jeet? I see it's been around since September. You're not exactly without means to publicize it in the American media.

      I tweeted about the story when it first broke, to general silence.

      Aside from my tweets it's been reported in the major Canadian media (Globe & Mail, Toronto Star). Since donor responsible for unhiring is also a sitting federal judge, it's a big political story. Yet: silence among usual suspects.

      Also sounds, from what I'm seeing now, like it's a more complicated situation than "she got un-hired for pro-Palestinian views." But I would like to see more on the story!

      It's always more complicated when it involves speech you don't like!

          So I just came across something I wrote in 2005 criticizing the targeting of "unpatriotic" speech on college campuses http://www.cathyyoung.net/bgcolumns/2005/anewwaveofpconcampus.html … Good thing to keep so I can shove it in the ****ing face of any **** who's all "but you don't care about cancel culture on the right" pic.twitter.com/HgBq04kFRX

          People are asking me a lot of questions about my "I wrote something 16 years ago defending speech I don't like" shirt that are answered by the shirt.
