Those dangerous professors
A new book called The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous
Academics in America, edited by David Horowitz, is now in
a bookstore near you.
The book lists 101 higher education faculty that Horowitz
claims should not be allowed to teach due to their political
beliefs.
Horowitz has been the driving force in getting 24 state
legislatures to consider his so-called "Academic Bill
of Rights" (ABOR). No doubt ABOR will eventually rear
its head in Montana.
This legislation would severely limit the free speech of
college and university professors and subject them to possible
career-ending sanctions.
A coalition of student, faculty, and civil liberty groups
has formed to oppose Horowitz and this academic blacklist.
It's called "Free
Exchange on Campus." Both of MEA-MFT's national
affiliates, the National Education Association and American
Federation of Teachers, are active members of the coalition.
