Berkeley Profs Take Stand—Against Free Speech
September 13, 2017, Malcolm A. Kline,
The university that has proudly proclaimed itself to be the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement may also become its graveyard.
“In a letter addressed to the UC Berkeley campus and the larger Berkeley community, 76 faculty members from various departments have called for a complete boycott of classes and campus activities during the so-called ‘Free Speech Week’ to be held on campus September 24-27,” Hank Reichman writes in the Academe blog maintained by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). “The week is sponsored by the Berkeley Patriot, a conservative student newspaper, and includes ‘Feminism Awareness Day’ and a ‘Mario Savio is Dead’ event. Speakers scheduled to be on campus include Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter, and Steve Bannon.”
