AB-2098 Physicians and surgeons: unprofessional conduct.

A new California bill threatens to strip doctors of their medical licenses for saying things the state doesn’t like. We don't have to imagine what that would look like.

"Phillips, an expert in race relations in Dallas, authored an open letter in the Dallas Morning News on behalf of a group of historians, calling for the removal of Confederate monuments in Dallas. In the letter, Phillips identified himself as a professor at Collin College. As a result, administrators summoned Phillips to a meeting and told him that the letter violated college policy because it "made the college look bad," and mentioned Phillips's affiliation with the college.

... in Sept. 2021, while teaching about the history of pandemics, Phillips discussed the harm caused by anti-mask advocacy groups during the 1918-19 flu pandemic and suggested that students consider wearing masks. Administrators summoned Phillips to yet another disciplinary meeting and told him that he should never mention masks to students again.

On Jan. 28, Collin College informed Phillips — who had then-recently been named "Educator of the Year" by the East Texas Historical Association — that his contract would not be renewed. Phillips also learned that the college's Council on Excellence, ​​a group of faculty members who evaluate faculty applying for new contracts, had approved him for a three-year contract extension. Nevertheless, Matkin and his administration chose to disregard the recommendation of their faculty and substitute their own unconstitutional motives to terminate Phillips…."

"The new incident involves J. Angelo Corlett, a tenured philosophy professor who last week was relieved of his duties teaching two courses, one on critical thinking, the other on race and racism.

Corlett told the San Diego Union-Tribune he used an informational slide in both classes that listed 10 to 12 epithets that have been used against Black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian and white people.

"You have to mention the words in order to explain why they are racist and should not be used," said Corlett, a 63 year-old Latino. "Some students are confused about what counts as racism. And some are more concerned about being offended than learning about the logic and science of language.""

"... the term “Federal Reserve” has also been on the blacklist since September of last year – and it’s all because someone at Google read a series of Chris Hayes tweets... According to the source, an employee at the company drew attention to Hayes’ tweets a day after the MSNBC host posted them. On the same day, the source says Google’s “youtube_controversial_query_blacklist” file was edited to include the term “Federal Reserve.”... previously reported on Google’s decision to add the terms “abortion” and “abortions” to the same YouTube search blacklist." I actually know this is true because I watched the youtuber prior to the video being blacklisted. I had already seen the video and knew it was first on the results before google's edit because it was something I'd shared a few times to people. Still shocked that the US govt sided with youtube that they were a 'Forum' when clearly editing search results means you are not by definition a Public Forum under law... sigh. A Forum being like a place where all peoples voices can be heard and not filtered, like people debating philosophy in a public square in Greece - like in Monty Python.
