Irish academics are now compelled by their universities to promote gender ideology. Failure to promote an “affirmative” environment can lead to lost funding and ruined careers. This is an affront to freedom of conscience, says Tim Crowley buff.ly/Nsg6aNW

Nope. 

The irony of being cancelled just over a month after this was published...

‘Anti-racism’ is not a skill, it is an ideology, & a highly contested one at that. To paraphrase David Decosimo: ‘Shall an ideology be given official institutional standing at Dublin City University (& Irish HEIs generally)?’ x.com/timcrowley_/st…

Hey James Lawless, how about attracting academics like Alex Byrne to Ireland, to demonstrate your commitment to free ideas? Oh, but how would that fit with government’s & HEA’s endorsement of Athena SWAN, & its demand that academics in Ireland promote gender ideology? Freedom, eh?

“This demand for ideological purity across unrelated causes is a signature move of female radicalism, & a feature of how “intersectionality”—a litmus test for moral conformity—is used in activist cultures.” Link ⬇️

“how peculiar it is that the two most cramped and censorial industries in the United States — the media and the universities — are the two that, by rights, one would expect to be the most freewheeling.”

On my first day at BU, a colleague took me to lunch & said: “Do you know what the real miracle of your hire is? You’re a white male. Do you know how much better than every other candidate you have to be to get hired here as a white man?" I couldn't believe he'd said it out loud.

More recently, I was denied a key opportunity explicitly because it would upset the "gender balance." This sort of overt race & sex discrimination has been absolutely commonplace in academia for years now. But there is immense stigma & social pressure around not talking about it.

Absolutely. The more enterprising have to try to game the system with ‘they/thems’ in their bio. Think: applying for a post at a philosophy school that proudly displays its ideological marker—the Athena SWAN badge? Gotta lie to apply. (Unless one is already a true believer.)
