Ken Levy, a tenured law professor at LSU, was ordered by a state judge to return to teaching after being suspended for his comments about Donald Trump and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. The suspension arose after Levy's remarks during a lecture, which included strong opinions about political figures. The judge's ruling could be temporary, as a hearing is scheduled for February 10 to review the situation. Levy's attorney argues that this case raises significant issues regarding academic freedom and censorship in education, as the university has not specified the complaints against him.
When people try and censor academic freedom and free speech because they may not like the opinion or the thought, then we no longer have those freedoms.
You probably heard I'm a big lefty, I'm a big Democrat, I was devastated by - I couldn't believe that fucker won.
I would love to become a national celebrity based on what I said in this class, like, 'Fuck the governor!'
Levy was suspended from teaching pending an investigation, though it hasn't specified which comments allegedly generated student complaints.
