It’s Not Free Speech: Race, Democracy, and the Future of Academic Freedom - Michael Bérubé, Jennifer Ruth
Shared by:hdgdf
How far does the idea of academic freedom extend to professors in an era of racial reckoning?
The protests of summer 2020, which were ignited by the murder of George Floyd, led to long-overdue reassessments of the legacy of racism and white supremacy in both American academe and cultural life more generally. But while universities have been willing to rename some buildings and schools or grapple with their role in the slave trade, no one has yet asked the most uncomfortable question: Does academic freedom extend to racist professors?
It’s Not Free Speech considers the ideal of academic freedom in the wake of the activism inspired by outrageous police brutality, white supremacy, and the #MeToo movement. Arguing that academic freedom must be rigorously distinguished from freedom of speech, Michael Bérubé and Jennifer Ruth take aim at explicit defenses of colonialism and theories of white supremacy—theories that have no intellectual legitimacy whatsoever. Approaching this question from two angles—one, the question of when a professor’s intramural or extramural speech calls into question his or her fitness to serve, and two, the question of how to manage the simmering tension between the academic freedom of faculty and the antidiscrimination initiatives of campus offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion—they argue that the democracy-destroying potential of social media makes it very difficult to uphold the traditional liberal view that the best remedy for hate speech is more speech.
In recent years, those with traditional liberal ideals have had very limited effectiveness in responding to the resurgence of white supremacism in American life. It is time, Bérubé and Ruth write, to ask whether that resurgence requires us to rethink the parameters and practices of academic freedom. Touching as well on contingent faculty, whose speech is often inadequately protected, It’s Not Free Speech insists that we reimagine shared governance to augment both academic freedom and antidiscrimination initiatives on campuses. Faculty across the nation can develop protocols that account for both the new realities—from the rise of social media to the decline of tenure—and the old realities of long-standing inequities and abuses that the classic liberal conception of academic freedom did nothing to address. This book will resonate for anyone who has followed debates over #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and “cancel culture”; more specifically, it should have a major impact on many facets of academic life, from the classroom to faculty senates to the office of the general counsel.

In reality, the liberal Ivy League schools, the so called bastions of free speech are the ones stifling free speech. Whore-vard ranks nearly dead last in free speech rankings. 45 out of 55 schools. The other leftist schools aren’t too far behind.
“white supremacy”? What a joke! The real danger to Democracy is the msm, Big Tech, the Democrats and our publicly funded schools and colleges.
Bérubé “teaches” at Penn State (makes sense) and Ruth at Portland State. She “teaches” film history, theory and interpretation as well as topics courses on sinophone cinema, global art film, and the cinemas of China, Eastern Europe, and Russia. Again, it makes sense. These two want Ministry of Truths for professors so it can be determined what they can, and cannot say. This books is a How To manual for Nazi thought and control.

The left thought that cancel culture would always favor their side. But now with the pro-Palestine protests they are beginning to see how what they helped to normalize can just as easily be used against them.

Fox News paid Dominion Voting Systems $800m dollars, just so Dominion would drop their case.
While the big ‘News’ corporations are so obviously bought and paid for, it is far too soon to worry about hampering academic freedom of speech.

Why are we publishing books in America clearly written by Xi Jinping?

This book would be a part of Napoleons library. I mean Napoleon the pig in Animal Farm. Everybody is equal and the those who define hate speech are more equal and that is why they are also allowed to define what free speech is.
