Portland State professor resigns after university muzzles philosophy, free speech: It’s a ‘dogma factory’

Former Portland State University professor Peter Boghossian details his exit from campus after the school attempted to silence his curriculum in critical thinking and ethics.

"The university basically created conditions that didn’t allow me to teach what I was hired to do, which was critical thinking and ethics," he said. "And so I could not retain my current position as is." The former professor intended on going about his normal lessons until the university informed him he would not be allowed to render his opinion specifically on the topic of protected classes. He admitted that the university made it difficult for him to do his job as other professors urged students not to enroll in his classes.
