Dr. Li-ann "Anal sex is like shoving a straw up your nose to drink" Thio, a professor at the National University of Singapore and Global Visiting Professor of Law set to teach human rights at NYU, according to the administration, has decided not to accept the visitorship.
Thio changed her mind about teaching at New York University because:
the atmosphere of hostility by some members of our community towards her views and by the low enrollments in her classes.
It looks like being called out for being a human right's abuser who was tapped to teach human rights just didn't sit well with Dr. Thio.
As a refresher, Thio actively advocated against the repeal of a law, Section 377A, that criminalizes sex between men, saying:
repealing 377A is the first step of a radical, political agenda which will subvert social morality, the common good and undermine our liberties.
...
Diversity is not a license for perversity.
That's some human right's expert...
But her selection in the first place, and the ensuing defense of Thio by the administration under the guise of "academic freedom", raises even more questions.
