Universities are now precluding the recruitment of independent thinkers and conservatives.
They are requiring prospective faculty to submit a loyalty oath to the tenets of diversity, inclusion, and equity as a de facto litmus test of their political affiliation.
John D. Haltigan, a former assistant professor at the University of Toronto, has applied for a tenure-track position at the university's psychology department but knows well he will not be selected.
In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled that state laws requiring educators to sign loyalty oaths and refrain from "treasonable and seditious speech or acts" were deemed unconstitutional.
The court set conditions an oath must meet to be deemed constitutional.
Haltigan says DIE doctrine enforcement in universities has gone too far in ivory tower of ivory tower.
