So they shouldn’t be allowed to speak
Harvard student Sandra Y.L. Korn recently proposed in The Harvard Crimson that academics should be stopped if their research is deemed oppressive. Arguing that “academic justice†should replace “academic freedom,†she writes: “If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals simply in the name of ‘academic freedom’?â€
In other words, Korn would have the university cease to be a forum for open debate and free inquiry in the name of justice, as defined by mainstream liberal academia.
It will be so strange for her when she leaves academia and has to listen to things she disagrees with.
I guess I didn’t get the memo. What is “heterosexism” and should I be for it, against it, neutral, or maybe just not give a shit what these twits say?

Sooner or later I fear vigilante “justice” will re-appear.
