Fired Professor, James Tracy, Sues His UniversityBy Jon Rappoport Tracy did so as a private citizen on his blog. He made that clear. But the University didnt care. They ripped away his tenure and job. Now Tracy is suing. As he should. Because the issue is a little thing called the 1st Amendment. Ive read his court filing. It appears to me that Tracys own union took his side and then betrayed him. It appears to me that the University cooked up a fake reason for firing him: he didnt send in a vaguely worded form they wanted him to sign. But the real reason had to do with Tracys view about Sandy Hook: that it was a hoax. It doesnt matter whether you or I or anyone else agrees with his assessment. What matters is his inherent right to express his view. The University doesnt want to grant Tracy that right. The University is worried about press blowback and reputation. Apparently, shutting down free speech doesnt affect the Universitys standing in this day and age. Its an easy sell. Well, it shouldnt be. There is a lot riding on the outcome of this court case. These professors are already sold out or theyre afraid, and that tells you a great deal about the current academic climate in America. The professors are captives of the system in which they work and live. Theyre know which way to jump on any given issue. They know when to shut their mouths. They know when to launch an attack against an officially un-favored person. They know the boundaries and the game, and they play it. Here is a full press release about the case posted at Professor Tracys blog. Read it, share it, and support this man who dares to speak and write what he finds to be true without checking, first, with some authority who wants to exercise control over the 1st Amendment. This is the latest trend, you know, especially on college campuses. Let some group decide what everyone should believeand then repress any contrary opinion. This trend needs to die, and soon.

University preach freedom but live under the dogma of the leftist agenda. spineless teachers feeding off clueless indebted children. Its the modern day slave trade. Kids need to stay out of debt and adults need to grow a backbone or else stop procreating (Becusae why bother bringing in children into a world you wont bother fighting to defend).
