0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, The High and Mighty of New York Times says

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a new threat to academic freedom is emerged to new

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>website launched last week called Professor watch List. The watch

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 1>list names two hundred college professors who, according to students,

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 1>spread leftist propaganda in their classrooms that are biased against

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>conservative students. The mere existence of this list is supposedly

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a threat to academic freedom. Judio says. Our Pino, an

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>associate professor of history at Kent State, is on the list.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>He complains that the goal of the site is to

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>shame and defame professors. Other critics warned the site will

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>be used to harass professors or maybe even sabotage their careers.

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Not so, says Charlie Kirk, the executive director of Turning

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Point USA, which started the watch list. He says that

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>it isn't a secret that some college professors are totally

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 1>out of line, and it's time to expose them. I

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>cannot tell you how many calls I've taken over the

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>years some college students and parents describing the liberal prop

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a game to These kids are routinely exposed to in class,

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and the hateful treatment they've received at liberal universities I

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>mean they have to endure ridicule, bullying, and blatant hostility,

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>bad grades, all of that in silence for fear their

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>grades will suffer if they speak up. The Professor watch

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 1>List is not a threat to academic freedom. It makes

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the point that conservatives have academic freedom too, which is

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a point long overdue.
