That has never happened before in our country—not during the McCarthy scare, not during the Vietnam war. Yet now, university administrations, following the lead of an openly fascist presidential administration, are dutifully punishing educators for speaking, teaching, and standing up for the truth, and for standing with students determined to do the same.
Firing Sang is supposed to serve as an example to all educators: be silenced or be cast out alone.
Let’s make sure she is instead an example of our solidarity as we reject that choice.
Suddenly unemployed, with no income and mounting medical bills, Sang is paying a heavy price for speaking truth to power that any scholar and any teacher could have to pay next.
Please show your support for her, and for educators everywhere who refuse complicity in genocide.
