trying protect freedom of speech for everyone. they re asking questions about it tonight. i care about freedom of speech, too. i don t think content discrimination in the university is good. the 1619 project was a shoddy research endeavor from day one. they made historically unsubstantiated claims including the founding fathers ultimately led the american revolution against great britain because they wanted to preserve the institution of slavery. there was not a shred of historical evidence in support of that. it was completely false on any other historical account. when pressed about it, new york times went behind the scenes and didn t follow normal editorial standards where you actually own up to a mistake when you make a mistake but they tried to hide it behind the scenes. i don t know whether or not that was the reason where she was denied tenure. i think that would be a perfectly good reason for failing to meet academic standards for basic history and basic research.
