University of Massachusetts Nursing Dean Fired For Saying “Everyone’s Life Matters"

There is a sense of a new orthodoxy that does not allow for dissenting voices as campaigns are launched to fire faculty who are denounced as insensitive or even racist for such criticism. The most recent controversy involves the recently installed University of Massachusetts-Lowell Dean of Nursing Leslie Neal-Boylan. Dr. Neal-Boylan had only been in her position for a few months when she was fired. The reason, according to many reports, is that she sent an email on June 2 to the Solomont School of Nursing on the recent anti-racism demonstrations across the country that include the words “everyone’s life matters.” As a blog dedicated to free speech, it has been difficult to keep up with the rising number of cases of the curtailment of speech or academic freedom on our campuses. What is equally alarming is the relative silence of most faculty members as individual professors are publicly denounced by their universities, forced into retirement, or outright terminated for expressing dissenting views. This case however raises an equally serious concern over the loss of due process for academics who find themselves the focus of a campaign for removal — or simply summary dismissal. (I have reached out to the University and will update this blog with any public response).
Dr. Neal-Boylan was heralded last September as a “visionary leader” by the university in taking over the deanship. Her writings include strong advocacy for those with disabilities in the nursing field. Those writings show tremendous empathy and concern for inclusivity in the profession.

Sorry, Leslie. You have to get the recitation perfect. You’ll have to go to the camps for the rest of your life. Bye.

It's pretty clear that given the opportunity... the left would behave in a way that would make Jim Crow era look tame.

Serious question: if she was black and said this, would she still have a job?

If you work at a Big tech company, you’re next.
Wokeness is moving from the university to the tech companies.
I highly recommend the three-part documentary on Evergreen College and Brett Weinstein. It’s what is being played out on a national stage. Not coincidentally, a little over 500 days before the meltdown at Evergreen college, Robin DiAngelo (White Fragility author) gave some seminars at the school.

Is this a public university? She's about to get paid if so.

Conservatives delude themselves by thinking this won't touch them and believing the answer is "more ammo & vote in November!"
The Left is bullying the Right all over the show, and the only real surprise is how easy it has been for the Left.

Look no further than Tucker's interview with Mike Braun. Senator Braun seemed terrified of Chuck Schumer, so he cowers to him like a whipped puppy.

The horror that a medical practitioner would say the life of everyone matters.
