Come on, @pzmyers. Running afoul of intersectional orthodoxy is dangerous to one's ability to earn a living on many campuses. @hollymathnerd didn't make this up.

Bullshit. Show me one professor who has been penalized for saying the word "mankind". Also, it's a foolish word, so why shouldn't a professor correct a misused word in a lecture?

No scholarship is the target of real proponents of heterodoxy. Please don’t mistake right wing orthodoxy for a commitment to viewpoint diversity. The ability to withstand the discomfort of fundamental disagreement is essential to a thriving academy—and a thriving democracy.

Yet you are unable to show any evidence that professors are punished for "violating academic left orthodoxies". Sorry, I'm not afraid of your imaginary boogeyman that you use to stir up feelings of victimhood in your fellow asshats.

I used to respect PZ.. but then i grew up..
