14. She would be top of list for them - except for that she is over 70

But she is a very scary person - brilliant sick mind and very dangerous - a Harvard Medical School educated Neurologist who went on to get her law degree. The right wing loved her and white nationalists have also used her medical background to go in the direction of Eugenics and race inferiority.

It’s shocking what she has allowed and said in her “teachings” and because she was tenured it was a thorny issue. Many at Penn who find her reprehensible but are conflicted because once a University starts removing tenured professors based on teachings that it gets into free speech and that it could be in future that progressive liberal speech be targeted.

For me - this was pure hate speech she was teaching and that has no place in education and to equate it with progressive thought is a straw man argument.
