A professor is under investigation for criticizing the Chinese government. Defend his rights with two clicks.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 13, 2021  Almost a month after launching a preliminary investigation into law professor Tom Smith s online comments criticizing the Chinese government, the University of San Diego School of Law is doubling down on its violation of Smith s expressive rights. In defiance of free speech advocacy efforts by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and others, the law school has now passed the investigation to the university for an official review.

We have an oppressive institution cracking down on dissent by investigating a professor for criticizing an oppressive government cracking down on dissent, said Sabrina Conza, FIRE program analyst. USD s unconscionable treatment of Smith is a delight for fans of irony and censorship alike.
