Florida Professor Fired for Teaching Racial Justice Curriculum.
TL;DR Summary
Palm Beach Atlantic University terminated the contract of former English professor Sam Joeckel after a complaint that he was "indoctrinating" students by teaching about racial justice. Joeckel believes the university ended his contract early "for a clear reason: my decision to teach and speak about racial justice." The university's employee handbook says discontinuance of employment may occur at any time, without cause, at the discretion of PBA. Joeckel plans to pursue legal options to "fight back and show PBA, and other institutions, that they cannot get away with this."
