West Point professor fired after climate change teaching dispute, lawsuit says
Original: West Point professor fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change, lawsuit says
A lawsuit filed by Adam Kalkstein, a former professor at the US Military Academy at West Point, alleges he was fired after objecting when department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change. The case raises questions about academic freedom at the academy and the role of climate science in military education, and is drawing attention as it moves through the courts.
Why now: The lawsuit claims academic censorship over climate change teaching at a major US military institution, a politically charged issue.
