ABOR: Free Exchange on Campus Coalition Aims to Silence Dialogue on Academic Freedom
“Free Exchange on Campus” Coalition Aims to Silence Dialogue on Academic Freedom
A radical coalition sponsored by the teacher unions and other left-wing groups and calling itself “Free Exchange on Campus” has launched a campaign of lies and distortions to oppose the Academic Bill of Rights and the Academic Freedom Movement. These are the same special interest organizations who have been attacking the Academic Bill of Rights for the past three years using the same misrepresentations and blatant falsehoods that we have exposed to countless times.
The FAQ on their website merely repeats the same tired and previously refuted accusations. We are therefore answering this latest version of the same by referring interested parties to our previous responses.
For explanations of why the Academic Bill of Rights is not a partisan campaign, why it does not restrict free speech, and how it is actually designed to promote the free exchange of ideas, see David Horowitz’s response to the AAUP.
For a rebuttal to the claim that the ABOR requires professors to “represent all views in their teaching” please see numerous letters in our Replies to Critics section.
For a rebuttal to the claim that David Horowitz’s book The Professors constitutes an “enemies list” see our press release responding to these falsehoods.
And David Horowitz’s Article, “press release.

ABOR: now, and always. Before it is too late.
I have just watched your speech at Duke University and want to complement you on your civility shown to some very ignorant students. I term this period that we ar egoing through as having lost our moral compass. Where are the student protests at Northwestern that has a blatantly anti-semitic professor? Where are the student protests at Yale who admits a former Taliban official? It is very troubling to me.

Though I can see how my comment here will give the left a loophole to dismantle any credibility I have as a person, I want to say that if cloning is going to be allowed, they must clone YOU. Why? Because you know what you're doing. There needs to be a whole ton of people like you.
But since there isn't, I am grateful we have you!
