The 6th US Court of Appeals has just stripped qualified immunity from higher education administrators at the University of Louisville. The whole qualified immunity thing has had quite a bit of definition creep over the past decades to the point where the administrators at universities figured they were covered if they made a professor’s life a living hell if he didn’t toe the ideological line. In this case, having the audacity to question ‘gender-affirming care’.
University of Louisville officials can be held personally liable for allegedly retaliating against a psychiatry professor through a “hostile, humiliating work environment” designed to chill his speech and not renewing his contract after he questioned so-called gender-affirming care at a Heritage Foundation event in 2017, a three-judge panel unanimously ruled.
Essentially they put the guy on double secret probation for the following:
While specifying he was not speaking for UofL, Josephson told the gathering — which was posted online — that gender confusion “cannot be fully addressed with drugs and surgery” and medical professionals should help children “learn how to meet this developmental challenge.”
Wow! Radical, right? Calling for medical professionals to do their jobs instead of drug and mutilate children. Shocker!!
Apparently his only sin was questioning something his ‘colleagues’ didn’t, which caused them to dogpile on like a bunch of rabid mean girls. If you’ve never seen it, faculty mean girl tantrums are what Antifa strives to become–vitriol is an understatement. And it sucks ass to the point where someone might look for the nearest bullet train to throw themselves under or, if given a choice, to walk out.
For some reason the poor sod is wanting to walk back into the snakepit. More power to him. I hope he sues everyone who made his life miserable.
