The Washington Post has an op-ed from recently fired Comrade Melissa Click, who wants her job back:
Whose interests are served when our drive to combat societal imperfections is defeated by fears of having our individual imperfections exposed?Taking a chance in the world of tenure! Comrade Click is one amazing socialist.
And what value do our rights as citizens have in a culture increasingly ruled by snap judgments and by regulations that are easily rewritten to suit changing political interests?
We should all be concerned about the larger issues my situation raises.
I don’t want to live in a world where citizens are too afraid of public scorn to take a chance. Do you?
