The Free Market: The Ordeal of Hoppe

I just became aware of this man's story after following a series of thoughts launched by the story of Senator Jesse Helms death yesterday.

"At stake is more than the reputation of an individual scholar, or the standing of a university that has failed to live by its by-laws which promise to protect the freedom to teach "even when topics are politically, socially or scientifically controversial." What is at stake is the integrity of the university learning environment itself. The incident politicizes the classroom environment to the point that neither students nor teachers can pursue science and truth without fear of political reprisal."
