“The woke people who want me fired do not wish to engage in civil dialogue or debate. Also, thank goodness for academic freedom and what little intellectual diversity remains on campus,” Block urged.

With as many Democrats that Libertarians have helped get into office, they deserve this kind of treatment from Democrats.

Agree with me or be fired.

That is the MOB mantra and they simply cannot believe people/companies/institutions are bowing to their every demand. They never thought it would be this easy or they would have done it long ago.

Loyola has to be the biggest dumpster fire of a student body in the entire state.

“We have serious legal constraints on our ability to fire faculty for that which they publish, even if we find it anathema,” Calzada said, adding “We cannot be accredited as a university without policies of academic freedom.”“


He gone.

Plenty of so-called Libertarians voted for Trump.

Loyola was already in financial trouble before this foolishness so this could seal the deal as to their future as more alumni pull money away from the school.

I’m a Libertarian and I voted for Trump. Are there policies I disagree with him on? Of course. But 2016 wasn’t about my ideals. Besides, my state is solidly red by a sizable margin.

I never understood the purpose for Loyola.

I mean it's a good institution. I just didn't see why their was such a demand for a private college.

I’m embarrassed to be associated with that school.

We will need more professors like Block stand their ground against this cancel culture.

It was a Catholic institution run by the Jesuits providing secondary and post secondary education. The secondary school became Jesuit and the post secondary school Loyola.

I understand that after Vatican II they let more laity run the institution, but it has become more and more radical and ridiculous.

I guess in the last twenty years it has seen its worse. Still amazing how the Catholic Church has accommodated faculty and students that aim for its own destruction.

I love this. All these white libs are getting burned by their own wokeness now. Enjoy what comes next.

Sure. Most of them split the vote and allowed Democrats to win governorships and statehouses.
