Academic Balance Language, II
Posted in News, Opinion on 10 March, 2009 by S&Co.
To follow up: it seems to me that academic freedom is where you show the kids a movie about things like, say, consumption and sustainability — and damned if the little future College Republicans, true to type, don’t give you the stinkeye! And so you go home and tell your spouse you hate your job, and you never show those kids a movie like that again.
Academic freedom: It self-regulates!
Cheep cheep

Academic Balance Language?
Posted in News, Opinion with tags Mark Zuber, Michael Moore, Missoulian on 6 March, 2009 by S&Co.Well, I’ve read Michael Moore’s Missoulian story about the MCPS panel’s “revamping” of the “academic freedom” policy’s language but I’ll be damned if I can understand what about it constitutes “serious steps” taken, or what it does for academic freedom.
I absolutely don’t get it. At all.
Does anyone get it?
