Both trollies jumping in and neither making any sense. Shamey, I don't know what to say, maybe go back and read a few pages to catch up. You're definitely not a friend of free speech.

Not sure what you mean either, but if you're looking for professors who've lost their jobs, you can check out the FIRE website.
https://www.thefire.org/


Here's a few:

bad language

hate speech
https://www.thefire.org/cases/harvar...spaper-column/


criticizing sexual harassment policy
https://www.thefire.org/east-georgia...ment-policy-2/


teaching about prostitution
https://www.thefire.org/colorado-pro...-prostitution/


ummm, sexual harassment?
https://www.thefire.org/silenced-at-...essors-firing/


Some of these it's difficult to figure out if they're a result of the far left safe space contingent, or the far right bible thumping prudes... they're both so similarly and easily offended. Universities are wise to be quick on the draw.

There are also some pretty worrisome examples of professors pressured into resigning:

and facing harassing title IX inquisitions:

These examples range from strange to scary, and whether you agree with the decisions or not, they trample on the idea of freedom of expression and open, critical thought within our higher-education system. It's really no wonder Obama has been focusing so much lately on the importance of dialogue and tolerance of opposing ideals. He and everyone else bringing these issues to light are doing good work. I just hope enough people have been listening.

I also just stumbled onto this, and it can't be great for the safe space movement.

Not that it should be too surprising. I mean, news flash, people talk smack about each other, are hateful and they stereotype. That's all perfectly normal and protected speech. But it doesn't look good if this is anything like what they're demanding universities provide them a safe space for.

lol, you think "1st Amendment" means you can't get fired for using unprofessional language and course content? Got news, bruv, I'd get fired if I dropped f-bombs at meetings where I work.

This is your #1 example of the hazards of "safe spaces?" I'm not going to bother reading the other 70,000 links you're spamming the thread with bc it's clear you don't bother to read them yourself.

So the one example FoldN has posted of a free speech violation resulted in the professor being fired. Man it seems like we have a real problem here!

Lol at those fire examples. Let me go call my boss an ******* and see how it goes. If I'm fired its a first amendment violation!

Lol FoldN, lol SMP non-thinking droolers.

Uh, it's college not kindergarten. I'm very sorry for anyone who would get fired for cursing at work. I've never had to worry about that.

And there are countless more examples of unwarrented free speech restrictions listed, both public and private. Big LOL at people who keep getting the First Amendment mixed up with free speech. Sure, there is no protection at a private university, for example. That doesn't automatically make it a good thing for them to censor. If you think so, I'm sure Xi Jinping is glad for your support.

When you sign a contract with companies you usually aren't entitled to 100% free speech. People get fired from all sorts of businesses besides being a professor. Why aren't you railing against them?

Everyone should just read up. FIRE isn't fighting for people who cursed out their bosses.

I was brought to my attention these two links were broken in my previous post:

criticizing sexual harassment policy
https://www.thefire.org/east-georgia...ment-policy-2/


teaching about prostitution
https://www.thefire.org/colorado-pro...-prostitution/

You should make a coherent argument besides "I have the feels for racists and other ****heads being stifled by the big mean colleges and their dastardly safe spaces."

Because universities aren't operating entirely differently from regular companies in some of their policies. Yet you don't seem to be linking to companies like ESPN giving guys like Schilling the boot and crying about that.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh you are one to criticize making conherent arguments. Like a few others, you read a post or two, drop in and spread your hate. There, I was responding to Trolly's request. Which was, as usual, very unwise.

I also think it's pretty silly Schilling got fired, but he's not supposed to be teaching our students critical thinking skills, challenging their ideals and sharpening their wits. It's a bit more worrisome when college professors and students in what should be a marketplace of ideas are being so easily censored.

You don't put any critical thought into your posts. You just whine about censorship and cherry pick articles.

Like, FoldN, you think classrooms don't have any purpose other than letting kids rant when you whine about that one professor. In your world **** wouldn't be taught because kids would run the classrooms and not professors. Professors have every right to shut down discussion when it is off topic. Going to college isn't just about Freedumb of Speech like you think. It's also knowing the time and place for discussions. You know, becoming Professional. There are classes that cater to topics and some that don't. Deal with it.

It's an epidemic!

The prof who got fired for Medea wasn't fired because of a left wing need for a safe space.

That's a big LOL M2B, of course the school is going to have their side of the story. And nobody should automatically take either side at face value.

Again, it's so hard to tell these days. Schools are being pressured from both ends of the spectrum, and they must be very careful not to offend!

Several of those examples are questionable, many of them are clearly the safe space crowd.

Lol, hypocrite. The exact reason you posted the link is for people to take your side.

That doesn't help when you throw a temper tantrum and insult people who don't agree with you.

Ahhhhahahahaironylololol. Well, nows the time where I need to be very careful not to troll like 1/10th of the amount I get trolled or risk getting another two day vacation. Good day kind sir.

Just wanted to make sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I post so much good content that nobody responds to, so I'm afraid it may be getting overlooked!

Laughing at you isn't trolling you.

Hope this helps!

Why didn't you post an article about the other side of the story then?

Let's get this straight. You are not only posting, but repeating and calling it "good content".....that....uh....someone somewhere said something stupid on Facebook and then the page was shut down after? Seriously?

Like why is this in any way an interesting story? Why did you feel compelled to repost it a second time

I seriously wonder about so many of you. There are tons of examples of students demanding schools provide them with safe spaces where only students of color are allowed in, much like that website.

Looks like foldN got into the good stuff again. How are your teeth holding up?
