Akz1 . His teachings are designed for children to think for themselves. He does not demand the children have to believe a certain aspect of science, He always talks about testing certain beliefs.

I do know, as a personal anecdote, that one morning in May of 2017, the extreme anxiety I had been suffering from for almost 14 years, shut off, just like it was on a timer. I bent down to pet a cat anxious, and I stood up and the anxiety had vanished. POOF! It was so remarkable I wrote it on the calendar. Similarly, at or around the same time, my bunions appeared to be asserting themselves. Quite remarkable. I always blamed it on my picking up the mood my husband had at work. But I truly believe I am particularly aware of my biological clock. As far back as I can recall, at 1 1/2 (because I can recall a particular incident and how my wet diapers felt). My dad was astounded I could remember details about something he felt that a toddler would have totally never noticed, let alone remembered.

"Academic Freedom" had become an oxymoron. Every university ought to develop and publish an "Academic Bill of Rights" to which the institution and student must adhere. If the enrolling student doesn't like it, he can simply go somewhere else.

[@Dr10Jeeps]

As a university professor I could not agree with you more.

[@adam346]

A professor is a person doing a job. A student is paying for an education. This is a transaction. Professor being the provider and student being the customer. If the employer (university in this case) says jump through hoops to the professor and the professor deems those hoops "against his academic freedoms" he has every right to find another teaching job. Universities seem to be under the impression that the people that keep paying to be there are the ones that deserve the attention, not the professors and their "academic freedom".

@@Dr10Jeeps I would first like to point out that the apparent problem is minor at best... out of some 4000 universities in the US, there were only 60 incidents in the last several years. A lot of those were against right wing antagonistic trolls. People who deliberately do and say things just to annoy people. Students are paying a lot of money to be in these institutions of learning. I don't see how deliberately antagonizing the student body helps with their education.

[@Dr10Jeeps]

@@adam346 I'm not so sure the problem is "minor at best." As a social scientist university professor (now semi retired) who has been teaching at various Canadian universities for 45 years, I do not like being placed in a position whereby I have to measure every scientific piece of evidence before talking about it in class lest I offend one or more students. Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I am all for discussing emotionally-charged data in a sensitive and constructive manner, but to feel that it must be suppressed because of a few students who may take offense is not the purpose of a university.
