So, let me get this straight ... the battle for academic freedom is centuries old, isn't won, and is still a contested topic precisely because there are those who think it shouldn't exist ... and you think that's justification, in and of itself, for a university to pressure someone to step down from a position? No one should feel morally justified arguing for one side of an ongoing debate?

You get that this is a hotly contested issue that spans the ages precisely because the powerful don't like scrutiny, right?
