I pray it is not too late for some of academia. The radicals got into positions of power. They cannot tolerate diversity of opinion or thought. All the ships must sail serenely in the same direction - OR ELSE. Is it really academia any longer if radicals are in charge?
"I followed all of the protocols of academia. I published articles in peer-reviewed journals. I shared my ideas, always politely, on Twitter, and I encouraged people to debate me and to criticize my ideas. And I was fired." -- @EPoe187https://quillette.com/2020/03/06/ive-been-fired-if-you-value-academic-freedom-that-should-worry-you/ …

If there's no place in academia for people like Bo, then it's clear that truth is no longer their primary concern. It appears the closing paragraph to my first Quillette essay still rings true.pic.twitter.com/EiBKCckwm3

The next time some internet banshee screams about the sanctity of peer review, I will show them this article.

It might have been a tweet or just my general essays that led to my firing, but, and this is important, I was a very productive scholar (judged in terms of peer-reviewed articles).

I'm so sorry Bo this happened to you. This is absolutely appalling. Some people might say its better to avoid talk about a controversial topic like race until you have tenure but acadamia is meant to be about the pursuit of truth wherever it may lead. I hope things work out

Universities have been taken over by witch hunts from the intolerant left politicising everything. Universities need to have the balls to stand up for free speech on campus against a few radical students https://twitter.com/uniofoxford/status/1235927762646577152?s=21 …https://twitter.com/uniofoxford/status/1235927762646577152 …
