      People are getting fired or suspended from college teaching jobs for *referencing* a racial slur. But according to Jeet that's a "false narrative" of cancel culture & the real victim is NHJ (a non-academic) b/c her offer of instant tenure was reduced to a 5-year contract.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1395480629660291079 …

      Andrew Sullivan write a lot about free speech but becomes indifferent to the issue when it involves someone who won't answer his questions about Black penises.

      Board of Trustee interference in faculty decision is a very serious breech of free speech norms. Your side can't see that because you dislike NHJ's politics.

      "My side"? You mean like @TheFIREorg, which specifically condemned that? I also think the trustee intervention is bad.

      You are belittling what is happening here, as you are with the AP case. I want to suggest that anti-racists and critics of Israel also have free speech rights that aren't served by a "she's no angel" rhetoric

          I shed no tears over one of the Cancellers getting cancelled.

          I've not only posted about the AP case but retweeted several tweets criticizing it. Sorry I haven't done it to your specification.

          As for NHJ, not sure why raising concerns about inappropriate political pressure on universities (if that was the case) precludes acknowledging that the person involved is a hack who routinely engages in hateful conduct toward critics, just as we would with, say, James Lindsay.
