Nikole Hanna-Jones--author of the egregiously historically inaccurate 1619 project and an "academic" with no PhD, no academic publications, no teaching experience--was offered a non-tenure 5-year contract at UNC. Then when UNC eventually buckled under woke pressure and offered the 5-year contract with tenure, Jones rejected UNC and accepted a tenured position at Howard instead.
Very comparable situation.
If you do consider yourself some kind of leftist or at least an advocate for social justice, can you stop with this manner of addressing your purported adversaries online? I can't think of anything more frustrating than crypto-wokeists. It fans the flames of animosity and strengthens the spirit of reaction. You're not fooling anyone with this plausibly-deniable posturing.
Of course I could be wrong myself and read into your comment more than you intended :).
If you want a case of an academic being drummed out of academia for their beliefs, the best example is that of Nikole Hanna Jones, the woman behind the 1619 Project, a MacArthur Fellow, and Pulitzer Prize winner who was denied tenure primarily at the request of a wealthy conservative donor.
As for a monoculture, I don't agree, but I concede, American universities have, in modern times, leaned liberal. American universities are also the envy of the world, and objectively are the best on the planet. If it isn't broke, why fix it?
And why trust the same people who gave us Donald Trump to fix anything?
