West Point professor says he was fired over climate change teaching
Original: West Point professor fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change, lawsuit says
A lawsuit claims Adam Kalkstein, a professor at the US Military Academy at West Point, was fired after objecting to directives barring faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change. According to the complaint, he pushed back against department officials imposing these limits on climate instruction. The case raises questions about academic freedom and political interference in teaching at the prestigious military academy, and is likely to draw attention as climate-related controversies spread through US institutions.
Why now: It combines academic freedom, climate politics and a US military institution in an ongoing legal dispute.
