Peter Bonilla Speaks into the PolicyMic

FIRE's Peter Bonilla has a piece over at PolicyMic discussing the recent firing of The Chronicle of Higher Education blogger Naomi Schaefer Riley. Riley inspired controversy with her contention that a selection of Ph.D. dissertations in black studies indicated that the discipline was not up to general academic standards. Describing the way academia all too often handles dissent, Peter has this to say:
