A few years ago, a leftist prof wrote a piece in which he admitted that he was “terrified“” of his students. I’d say that most professors should feel that way, particularly if they teach at a school with an administration dominated by “progressives.”
Today’s Martin Center article provides support for that view. It’s by Evan Charney, who taught at Duke for 20 years and was a very popular professor. But all it took to end his career was complaints from a few hypersensitive leftist students who said his teaching style made them uncomfortable. Even though many students came to Charney’s defense, that meant nothing at a school where “woke” students must be appeased.
