You can be part of the demonstration that shows Ford that the people have a better idea, such as ending racism at home and cutting...
...groups with public views much like the AAUP's, the Yale Political Union this week and the Law School Forum here last fall. Like the AAUP, these groups eloquently defended academic freedom, and like the AAUP, they failed to cite a single viable threat to justify their decision to cancel Shockley's debate with Innis anyway...
