AAUP is a Leftist Organization; AAUP President Endorses Lefty Conspiracy Theory that Kirk Assassin was Right-Wing

I was a member of AAUP for about a year when it looked like I might be in hot water for politically incorrect speech at my University. I'm a member of several other organizations that would likely defend me if necessary. And I didn't think the AAUP actually would. But I joined anyway, just in case. I let my membership lapse after a year, though I could still log in to the website. Just yesterday I contacted them to make sure my membership was terminated. I did so because VA AAUP just released its endorsement of all three statewide Democratic candidates in the upcoming election. Well, that was the proximal reason. But I'd been planning for some time to make sure I wasn't on autorenew. The AAUP is part of the problem in academia.

   AAUP is a leftist organization. There's no question about it, and no surprise there. Professors are overwhelmingly leftist. If AAUP weren't leftist, another organization would form to crowd it out. And now its president is repeating the never-plausible and conclusively-debunked theory that the Kirk assassin was a far righty groyper. Facts are anathema to these people.
