- We have published a statement in support of @michaelpforan please share widely! @GlasUniAFAF @EdinUniAFAF @SpeechUnion @ScotUnionEd @StudentAFAF
- Update: Three teachers have been suspended. The Batley Grammar School students have updated their petition - over 63,000 people have signed:
- Dare any VC or senior person in a University could say that biological sex is real. Even if they think it, no one would say this publicly. Their career would be at an end. This is the test of whether free speech still exists in academia. @StudentAFAF @WRNDerbyshire @SpeechUnionAdd Daniel Kodsi to the small but intrepid band of philosophers willing to allege in public what most others know but are too afraid to say - that woman=adult human female. philosophersmag.com/unexceptional-…
- A free speech victory at Cambridge - congratulations to all involved @SpeechUnion @CommSenseUK @instofideas @ProfDHayes @jowilliams293 @spikedonline Cambridge University votes to safeguard free speech
- We are very disappointed that @SEENpoliceUK has taken the first steps in an attempt to 'cancel' @michaelpforan Another unnecessary addition to AFAF's Banned List? Back off. Let people debate. It's that simple. @GlasUniAFAF @EdinUniAFAF @SpeechUnion @ScotUnionEd @acadofideasThis is raising to the level of harassment now. My employer is not going to 'intervene' for defending myself from being attacked by another academic. Defending my character and academic integrity is not attacking someone. Pointing out that Hines is not a lawyer isn't an attack.
- A petition to abolish non-crime hate incidents. Please sign. @SpeechUnion @acadofideas @AFFSUK @lucaf_london @WeAreFairCop @StudentAFAF @JamesEsses @JournalismSEEN @GBNEWS @andrewdoyle_com @JonHolb @spikedonline @SVPhillimore @KiszelyPhilip @Kyriakos_Law
- It says a lot about the state of UK universities that the showing of a film is national news - but it is a victory for academic freedom- well done @EdinUniAFAF ‘Adult Human Female film is shown in Edinburgh’
- Statements in solidarity with @Docstockk from UCU members. @runthinkwrite @ShereenBenjamin @JimButcher2 @JohnFitzP @AllianceLGB @DontDivideUsNow @SpeechUnion @speechchampions @instofideas @camillahmturner @ewansomerville @TheFIREorg @andrewdoyle_com
- As @ProfDHayes says, it is time for @officestudents to get their investigation into the disgraceful treatment of @Docstockk at @SussexUni finished and published. This delay sends a message that such mistreatment will be ignored. @JoPhoenix1 @StudentAFAF
- If there is anyone who thinks there is no free speech crisis in universities - @bphillipsonMP @DrJoGrady @ucu @UniversitiesUK @nusuk - have a look at our list. It will grow and grow over the next five years.
- After the @officestudents decision to fine @SussexUni for free speech failings many universities will be taking a fresh look at whether their EDI policies impact on freedom of speech and academic freedom. It's time they did. @StudentAFAF @SpeechUnion
