In the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk, an organized political effort has emerged: Political figures are mining social media for statements about the murder and demanding that state employees be fired or otherwise pushed out of their jobs because of their speech. (1/5)
Firing faculty without due process intimidates students as well as their teachers. That kind of widespread fear damages the learning environment that our public colleges and universities can offer their students.

The rampant violations of academic freedom and intrusions on extramural speech are escalating rapidly. Faculty members have the right to speak or write as citizens, free from institutional censorship or discipline. Expression of opinion as a citizen does not constitute grounds for dismissal.
