A very good interview. Listening to her calm, reasoning voice, I wish she had been one of my lecturers on philosophy, or anything else for that matter. At last Women’s Hour are tackling this issue.
Nearly 700 University of Michigan faculty members signed an open letter dated Oct. 21 asking for School of Music, Theatre & Dance Professor Bright Sheng to be reinstated as professor of his undergraduate composition seminar less than a month after he stepped back from the course. The letter also calls for the University to issue a public apology on his behalf.
The letter, sent to SMTD Dean David Gier, University President Mark Schlissel and Provost Susan Collins, comes after Sheng showed a 1965 version of the film “Othello” in which the lead actor appears in blackface. Some students said Sheng did not properly contextualize the racism in the film before he showed it.
The faculty open letter says the response to this incident hurt the University’s reputation and Sheng’s career, leading to extensive media coverage that portrayed the University in a negative light.
They could beg all they want for her to come back, but what incentive could they offer? The trans activiists who committed these atrocious and aggressive acts have been cowering behind masks and covering their identities. If the powers that be would go after these craven cowards and eject them from the university, then there might be a chance, but they won’t. These little TRA dipshits who have effectively driven Doctor Stock from Sussex have faced no consequences. If I had anything to say about it they would all be charged with harrassment and slander and have to answer for their actions. For Sussex to say she’s in the right is fine, but if they don’t go after the craven little cowards and suspend or eject them is a complete lack of commitment to the policies and ideals they are supposedly committed to. Chickenshits one and all.

I wish nearly 700 faculty and 60 students would have stood up for Kathleen Stock at Sussex U.

As far as I know they have no intention of begging her to come back. Cowards all of them.
