As the author points out, academic freedom is an illusion anyway because all professors have to edit their curriculum for time. On top of that, you have professors with their own personal agenda, some liberal, some conservative, that they work into their curriculum. She cited one professor that taught some quack theory about how people are biologically predetermined to behave by their ethnic background, and how another professor taught that women get raped because they're not "ladylike".

Also, there have been conservative groups on college campuses for decades trying to regulate professors into moving their curriculum to the right politically, such as David Horowitz's group, "Students For Academic Freedom", which is really just a front to push for a right wing curriculum.

The author just believes in fighting fire with fire. I can understand that.
