Persecution & Propaganda At Princeton | The American Conservative

This is jaw-dropping stuff. Princeton University is in effect accusing a sitting professor of being an anti-black racist. The university directs incoming freshmen to read that website, in which Prof. Katz is introduced to them as one of the most evil people on campus, while the revolting race-baiter Eddie Glaude is held up as an aggrieved victim of Katz. I hope Katz has contacted a lawyer about this.

Moreover, as part of the same freshman orientation program, Princeton has produced this video, in which woke professors talk about what else? racism. At the 38:38 mark, Prof. Dan-el Padilla Peralta, who, as a Classics student, was mentored by Joshua Katz, but who has now turned on him, says that he s in favor of free speech, but only to advance social justice and antiracist social justice. He says faculty help students with this, not to help them assimilate, and think well of Princeton, but to provide them with the tools to tear down this place and make it a better one.

Prof. Katz should totally sue Princeton for defamation. It’s a big lift, but my guess is he would overcome the obstacles. He could get a big remedy and retire in splendor, or keep teaching if he likes.
