Peyrin Kao, a computer science instructor, was disciplined over his discussions of his pro-Palestinian activism in the classroom, raising questions about academic freedom and its limits on campus.
Well the activist was himself to be precise, not other people he brought in (unless I missed something in the article).
I saw that it was based on two things that occurred in the classroom:
he mentioned he was on hunger strike (but didn’t say for what), and that it might affect the quality of today’s lecture;
on a different day, he connected the subject matter of the class with world events, explaining how similar technology was being used by the IDF. He prefaced this 4 minute section of the lecture by saying students [sensitive to the politics] could leave.
Regardless of what you think about the politics, these both seem like reasonable things for a professor to do on the surface of it. 1 isn’t even political at all, and 2 because there’s a subject matter connection. I learned about ethics-informing anecdotes in my CS class.
Oh no, highly educated person appears to be the opposite of a neonazi, better sack him while other unis happily host old neckhole kerk spouting the most vile shit.
