Princeton students cyberbullied, called racist for their open letter defending academic freedom

The nearly two dozen Princeton University students who recently signed an open letter in defense of academic freedom and free speech now face cyberbullying and name-calling from peers at the Ivy League institution.

The letter was signed by members and supporters of the Princeton Open Campus Coalitionand expressed opposition to a list of demands pushed by hundreds of students at the school that call for things such as reparations for African Americans, mandatory “anti-racist” trainings, and curriculum changes framed by identity politics.

The demands amount “to a concerted siege of free thought at Princeton, which they seek to effect by hijacking the University bureaucracy to create a monopoly for their beliefs on deeply controversial and contentious issues,” the letter states.
