I have no idea what is going on here.

The claim above seemed to have been that professors who went against particular narratives regarding transgender affirmation and public health efforts surrounding covid were silenced or even expelled from the academy. This is just observably not the case. Some sense that the academy demands absolute conformity to left wing positions is something people often say but it is ill supported.



"they require conformity to a certain wing positions" is always an interesting angle because like, one wing could just separate from reality and go off to la la cuckoo fairytale land, and then blame everyone for being biased if they don't meet them halfway.


It's what mathematicians refer to as a "tangent".
