Freedom

I refer you to the article on Stuff .co.nz: 

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/116407248/refusal-to-publish-nz-academics-book-is-a-worrying-blow-for-free-speech

 and a blog post by Karl DuFresne Here. about the article and the terrifying consequences should the left (including the CoL) manage to complete their task of censoring everything they disgree with.


The named academics are obviously learned people, their cause one that should be supported by every correct-thinking New Zealander but I must wonder whether the academics overplay their hand slightly.

Emerald Press are surely not the only publisher in the English-speaking world.

From the article: "Flynn will not be the last New Zealand academic – or the last New Zealander – to have their right to express their views effectively curtailed."

Why can't Mr Flynn simply use another publisher? Publish himself if no one else will?


Do the academics (and Mr DuFresne) weaken their argument, an argument I think is the major dilemma facing man today, by going the shock/horror route rather than just stating facts?
