Court sides with Moreno Valley College prof who says he was fired for presenting conservative views
As classes resume this week at Moreno Valley College, a dispute continues between school officials and a former professor who says he was wrongly fired in October 2017 and is trying to get his job back.

That is ironic, said Brad Dacus, founder and president of the Pacific Justice Institute, because “colleges have long been held as the open marketplace of ideas.” The institute has been defending the professor.
Dacus said by phone recently that attempting to squelch a particular point of view “is very dangerous for the healthy college campus learning experience.”

There seems to be more to this than meets the eye, as the appeals drag out.
