1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Well, The High and Mighty of New York Times says

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: a new threat to academic freedom is emerged to new

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: website launched last week called Professor watch List. The watch

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: list names two hundred college professors who, according to students,

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: spread leftist propaganda in their classrooms that are biased against

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: conservative students. The mere existence of this list is supposedly

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: a threat to academic freedom. Judio says. Our Pino, an

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: associate professor of history at Kent State, is on the list.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: He complains that the goal of the site is to

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: shame and defame professors. Other critics warned the site will

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: be used to harass professors or maybe even sabotage their careers.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: Not so, says Charlie Kirk, the executive director of Turning

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: Point USA, which started the watch list. He says that

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: it isn't a secret that some college professors are totally

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: out of line, and it's time to expose them. I

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how many calls I've taken over the

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: years some college students and parents describing the liberal prop

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: a game to These kids are routinely exposed to in class,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: and the hateful treatment they've received at liberal universities I

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: mean they have to endure ridicule, bullying, and blatant hostility,

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: bad grades, all of that in silence for fear their

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: grades will suffer if they speak up. The Professor watch

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: List is not a threat to academic freedom. It makes

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: the point that conservatives have academic freedom too, which is

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: a point long overdue.
