'Epicenter of Censorship': History Professor Michael Phillips Sues Collin College Over Alleged Free Speech Violations
“Collin College is the epicenter of censorship in the state of Texas,” FIRE attorney Katlyn Patton said in a statement. “How many more lawsuits will it take, and how many more payouts will taxpayers have to shoulder, before Collin College leaders realize that the Constitution applies to them too?”The decision to part ways with Phillips comes even though he’d been recommended for a three-year extension by a Collin College faculty group that evaluates professors who are up for new contracts.
FIRE alleges the school has repeatedly infringed on professors’ First Amendment rights, retaliating against them for weighing in on issues of public concern. “They created an atmosphere of fear, and then students get denied the quality education they deserve,” Phillips said. “It’s the students most of all who are harmed by this.”
