        It's very good that someone with as big a platform as you is talking about this, we need @MariettaCollege to feel some pressure for this egregious violation of academic freedom.

        For your information, he just posted a long thread about the situation. It would be great if you also retweeted it!https://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1236259242442723329 …

        Winegard strikes me as somewhat disingenuous but he’s certainly right about that.

        A regression to infantilism, of craving offense, and seeking "justice". Ah the joys of youth. The students are there to learn, but don't understand their privilege, and instead project onto whatever demographic happens to be the majority in the society they find themselves in.

        But why qualify freedom with "academic"?

        It has been happening for a while, say something scientific even suggesting that same sex marriage is bad for kids or something along those lines about it's better not to push kids to be homosexual on a scientific and you'll be lynched. There are other similar examples ...

        I’ve been noticing a pattern in tweets recently that lead me to think that PG has thoughts on race. 🤔 “What You Can’t Say” right? Write the essay PG.

        This is the sort of stuff we think only happens in other countries. We are a country that welcomed all the scientists during WWII, have more Nobel Laureates than any other countries. How do we turn this ship back around?

        Interesting take, science will always have room to out-politicize, fortunately.
