Below is how it started, but this is how it’s going: a punishment that includes exclusion from democratic participation, handed down because of disrupting democratic so-called decorum. The crime of possible intimidation is punished with actual disenfranchisement

I'm not a particularly fancy man, but I've been in academia a long time, and I don't recall "don't ever discuss material that's extraneous to the class" ever having been mentioned as a "core tenet" of academic freedom.
Could someone give me an example of a college course in which climate change is clearly not relevant?
