AAUP: No Faculty Loyalty Oaths Except to Darwinism

The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article reporting how the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) recently passed a resolution that "called on universities not to automatically terminate or refuse to appoint professors who refuse to sign a 'loyalty oath.'" That sounds reasonable. But the same article explained that the AAUP hypocritically adopted a separate resolution against academic freedom bills in Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana because they "allow science teachers to critique 'prevailing scientific theories.'" It seems that academic freedom for dissenting views is all the rage among the elite of academia—unless you want to use your academic freedom to question Darwin.

Evolution News & Views presents analysis of that coverage, as well as original reporting that accurately delivers information about the current state of the debate over Darwinian evolution.
