The burden isn’t on the professors to go and “debate” him though. He should’ve sought them out. No professor is going to casually come up to a random podcaster to debate him. But they might feel more inclined if he set up a formal meeting/event.

Professors generally aren’t allowed to do things like that because most colleges don’t like it when someone acting in official capacity represents their personal views because it could reflect those views back onto the college.

It’s called a professor watchlist and if they can push their ideologies onto students they can be on a watchlist since they are a public sector. And they weren’t “doxxed” show me the proof.

Because he was an expert in trouncing unprepared opponents, which is why if you were prepared and got him in a corner he would just not put you in the YouTube video, and every time he was on an even stage against a prepped opponent he ended up losing badly. See his crashout against Cenk Uygur, or that time the Oxford University debate team hosted him for an actual formal debate.

Working for the government in a lot of cases does make your salary and address public information, but I think “it’s in the public records” is a flimsy justification for doxxing, like sure someone could check the public records for those things, but that doesn’t make it any better for you to paint a target on their back and go “I HATE THIS GUY, HERE’S WHERE HE LIVES!” to a much larger platform

Certain public employees have exceptions to it, especially those in law enforcement, but tons of state workers have their information in public databases. I could tell you the income and address of basically anyone who worked at my high school or university by going to my state’s public education records, but again, blasting that information through a loudspeaker and being like “you should hate this guy” is still ridiculous.

Depends on if it’s a private or public school they work at, if they work for a state university they’re protected from university suppression of their beliefs spoken outside of the lecture hall. If they work for a private university, it’s all down to their contract, since those schools are not bound by the First Amendment the way public schools are.

there’s a difference between being a government official, and working for the government. the vast majority of government employees do not have their homes and such exposed officially, since they are non political positions.

She was permanently in a mental state of the 1980s politically. She was a good writing professor, her class on how to write was really good, she was also the only person in the Political Science department qualified to teach International Law. Her opinions on international relations and whatnot were generally very sound, and she had a couple specific issues she was really up on and smart on, but you could definitely tell domestic policy was not her area of study.
