![By presenting these 400 academics, many of whom have an axe to grind in the “fight against woke”, as simply working academics with a concern for academic freedom, is as bogus as the Guardian’s presenting the musings of an emeritus Professor previously stripped of his title for writing a work critical of Critical Race Theory. This is not a coincidence. [...] This is a man with a political view on positive action to address societal prejudice and exclusion based on skin colour. Why did the Guardian not mention this?
Let’s look at the first 10 signatories in detail:
Prof Michael Biggs, Sociology, Oxford: The BMJ refused to publish his rapid response comment because they considered his views were transphobic
Prof Abhishek Sala, Mathematics, Univ of London: published paper critical of positive action on race in academia
Dr. Lawrence Patihis, Psychology, Univ of Portsmouth: Posted on X “The idea that there are identity groups without agency is the mind virus of our age”
Prof Michael Sharpe, Psychiatry, Oxford: Blamed George Monbiot for “spreading Long Covid” and wrote a paper claiming that ME is a mental illness
Prof Michael Ben-Gad, Economics, Univ of London: Was branded a “terrorist” and “war criminal” by students for his service in the IDF
Prof Alex Byrne, Philosophy, MIT: His book on sex and gender was dropped by OUP because they said it did not address the subject of gender in a “sufficiently serious or respectful way”
Dr Prakash Shah, Law, University of London: Published on X an ironic comment “praising” Prof Arday’s “uncanny ability to attribute ills of society to racism”.
Prof Lee Jones, Economics, London University: Has expressed his pro-Brexit views extensively and his dislike of what he calls the “remainer establishment”
Prof Joel Pust, Philosophy, University of Delaware: chaired debate questioning the existence of trans sexual identity
Prof Klaas, Wynne, Chemistry, Glasgow University: gained funding from the Leverhulme Trust, as did Nathan Cofnas](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:un7ax3cmaqemchu5tsqnymts/bafkreiebrwvdmzljfntdarjodkcz7nhevj2zpg7qczdj56io7motppwnjq)
