Professor George and I discuss this problem and why people of goodwill need to stand together against progressive censorship. Academic institutions have been under attack for decades. As far back as the early 20th Century, progressive and Marxist efforts to control the Academy have been underway. But, in recent decades, academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas have been nearly shut down. Why is this happening? What is the effect upon our present public debate? Can we successfully oppose this assault on the First Amendment and our basic freedoms? Professor George answers these questions. Robert P.

George of Princeton University. Professor George is a highly respected and sought after expert on legal and cultural issues. In a recent https://twitter.com/mccormickprof/status/1292929165658914817?s=12,...Twitter thread, he described conversations he had with a number of academics who are concerned about their careers if the Woke crowd picks up on any public comments they make. Professor George and I discuss this problem and why people of goodwill need to stand together against progressive censorship. Academic institutions have been under attack for decades. As far back as the early 20th Century, progressive and Marxist efforts to control the Academy have been underway. But, in recent decades, academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas have been nearly shut down. Why is this happening? What is the effect upon our present public debate? Can we successfully oppose this assault on the First Amendment and our basic freedoms? Professor George answers these questions. Robert P. George is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. He is the co-author of the Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience. He and his friend Harvard Professor Cornell West have been promoting a statement on "Truth Seeking, Democracy, and Freedom of Thought and Expression" to shed light on the attacks against the pursuit of knowledge and free expression.]]>4514academicfreedom,firstamendmentclean118fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/religious-freedom-and-abortionist-hijinx-with-troy-newman-on-the-against-nice-podcast--56718743Operation Rescue on the Saturday show I am doing on WYDE in Birmingham, Alabama.
