On the issue of Academic Freedom

As a student who deals with harassment from terrorist sympathizers on a regular basis under the guise of "academic freedom" I think it's abominable that administrations at nearly every campus sit back with their hands folded and refuse to take stands condemning racism and hate speech. It is truly a shame that academic freedom, a principle whose rationale is the pursuit of truth, gets used so often as a carte blanche for the dissemination of blatant lies. Calling terrorists “freedom fighters” and hate mongering murderers “religious leaders” is beyond trying to present a different perspective on the issues. It is nothing better than the propagation of lies to bolster public opinion of the very tyrants and criminals that suppress free speech, expression, and religion in their own dominions. When the pursuit of truth through university study is overwhelmed by fact-obscuring propaganda, academic freedom has failed in its mission and I believe the time has come for such principles to be reevaluated and reformed.  ¶ 11:36 PM
