Sweden trades academic freedom for a commitment to social justice
- rpiguy 9y agoInteresting that the OP changed the original title from "Academic Freedom Under Threat in Sweden" to a more equivocating view for Hacker News. Social Justice in this case means the erasure of history and culture. It is sad. The world needs social justice, but hitching social justice to this kind of oppression of ideas is down right medieval and hurts the concept of social justice, turning off folks who would otherwise be sympathetic to the cause.
- googletazer 9y agoRight on. Its all about freedom of ideas that can coexist and challenge each other in the marketplace, not sweeping stuff thats unpopular in <currentYear> under the rug.
