In the News:
A pair of professors from Arizona State University wrote an essay which was published last week by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The gist of the article is that academics are overestimating the value of free speech. In fact, they come to the
conclusion that free speech is a right-wing framing which ought to be rejected by colleges who, after all, have lots of experts on hand to determine what is and is not acceptable speech on a given topic. Here’s how they set up the argument:
"Our contention is that calls for greater freedom of speech on campuses, however well-intentioned, risk undermining colleges’ central purpose, namely, the production of expert knowledge and understanding, in the sense of disciplinarily warranted opinion.
Expertise requires freedom of speech, but it is the result of a process of winnowing and refinement that is premised on the understanding that not all opinions are equally valid"
======================
Yet they want to teach that 2 plus 3 does not necessarily equal five.
I get it.
This is from the left, of course. Note that Bax-Crap won't
say anything as he pretends that the left is a champion of
free expression and free speech. You can always tell if
someone is a Totalitarian -- he accuses others of doing what
he himself supports.

Is B.T. is an AI bot that was created by republicans to discredit Baxter?
