#2 #1 Academia has long lost the defense of 'academic freedom' though its own actions.

Recently, the following was reported in the local newspaper: Staff and students in the University of Tennessee Office for Diversity and Inclusion want people to think beyond the “he/she” pronouns and are encouraging use of gender-neutral pronouns such as “xe,” “xym,” and “xyr.”

Fortunately, the lawmakers in Nashville who control the purse strings said this is an example of PC run amok. There are still some reasonable people who call things what they are.
