I\u2019m all for freedom of speech, but the rulers of our campuses think otherwise. It isn\u2019t simply they wish to control what\u2019s said in the classroom, they\u2019ll cheerfully punish, and punish hard, a professor who dares express wrongthink on social media, as I\u2019ve documented many times in this blog.<\/p>\n

Now, when faced with such smackdown, the professor can fight back (we do have this Bill of Rights thing), but such fights are tough. You can\u2019t win in the heavily rigged university system, so that means the \u201creal\u201d courts\u2026and that means time and money. Generally, the professors win when they do this, possibly even by presenting the case to the supreme court<\/a>, but I find such victories Pyrrhic at best\u2014even if you get your money back, the fight can take years you\u2019ll never regain, and going back to work for an infuriated boss eager for payback isn\u2019t fun.<\/p>\n

Curiously, the free speech abuse cases I\u2019ve covered all go one way, namely with a professor saying something against the Social Justice Warrior agenda.<\/p>\n

What happens when a professor is racist, but in a SJW-approved manner?<\/p>\n

\u2026posting on Facebook that he hates \u201cwhite people.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, that certainly is racist, in the classic definition of the word for hating a whole classification of people based on skin color. No judgement here on my part, though I can\u2019t help but note the professor is white (and hasn\u2019t self-destructed, leading me to believe he, like so many who virtue signal this kind of stuff, doesn\u2019t actually believe it).<\/p>\n

In response to his rant, some social media sites shut him down, and the University did have a response:<\/p>\n

Before the fall semester started, Rutgers announced<\/a> that Livingston\u2019s Facebook posts had violated the university\u2019s Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment.<\/em><\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t approve of the university\u2019s actions, this is consistent with how other universities have behaved. Not being a law professor, he went to FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, to help him out. Even with this organization at his back, one would think the university would have the integrity to hit the professor with suspensions and whatever, and force him to fight in the courts for years to protect his rights. I mean, if we assume the school honestly believed what the professor did was inappropriate, one would think that.<\/p>\n

One would think wrong:<\/p>\n

\u201cFIRE is pleased that Rutgers did the right thing and reversed the charge of racial discrimination against Professor Livingston,\u201d the FIRE representative said. \u201cAny other result would have undermined the free speech and academic freedom rights of all Rutgers faculty members.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, that was quick, and easy\u2026not even one semester of fighting and his university forgave him. I\u2019m not even sure what \u201creverse the charge\u201d means in this context\u2026does this mean outright approval of his racism? I guess I\u2019ll let legal scholars figure that one out.<\/p>\n

Is this going to be yet another example of SJW hypocrisy, or will other, similar infringements of free speech by universities likewise be overturned before a long court battle ensues?<\/p>\n

Only time will tell, but, call me cynical, I lean towards hypocrisy here.<\/p>\n
