- xqcgrek2 5y agoI know quite a few of those signatories (note the vast majority of them have tenure). Most people however, including myself, are not as fortunate to sign something like this without repercussions.
- garbagecoder 5y agoI have tenure and I may sign it, but I think it’s hilarious that several are at the same institution, Stanford, where this cancer is emanating from.

- foofoo4u 5y agoIt is a sad state of affairs that experts within their own domains cannot state suggestions for how students can be best prepared for their curriculum. For the past several decades, there has been a push to get students into STEM. The STEM experts (professionals, professors, etc.) know what is the appropriate measures to make students ready for this career and yet they are stifled from stating so, all because it goes against the progressive orthodoxy. This ideology is cancerous. It will undermine all that made America, its industries and universities great.
