‘Hopefully, other public universities will learn from this that if they violate the First Amendment, they can be held accountable, and it can be very expensive.’
Under the Biden administration, censorship was rampant, much of it involving the Biden administration, the lamestream press, and the propaganda centers, aka colleges and universities. But the lamestream press, colleges, and universities are now paying a steep price. Disney lost to Trump and settled the claim by contributing $15 million dollars for the Trump library fund. Trump also has a lawsuit against 60 Minutes for ten billion dollars.
Now, Officials at the University of Louisville lost a case from a former professor, Allan M. Josephson, who was “demoted, harassed, and effectively fired a distinguished professor who successfully led the university’s child psychiatry program,” for his use of free speech when he warned of the harms of “transitioning” children. Duh, the university is backing permanently harming children not old enough to realize the ramifications of the process.
The ADF explained:
“In September of last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled that Josephson’s case should proceed to trial, declaring public university officials can be held personally accountable for censoring professors or retaliating against them as the University of Louisville did in Josephson’s case.”
Lawyer Travis Barham said:

As early as 2014, Dr. Josephson saw the truth behind dangerous procedures that activists were pushing on children struggling with their sex. He risked his livelihood and reputation to speak the truth boldly, and the university punished him for expressing his opinion—ultimately by dismissing him. But public universities have no business punishing professors simply because they hold different views. Dr. Josephson’s case illustrates why—because the latest and best science confirms what he stated all along. Hopefully, other public universities will learn from this that if they violate the First Amendment, they can be held accountable, and it can be very expensive.”
Josephson noted:
“Children deserve better than life-altering procedures that mutilate their bodies and destroy their ability to lead fulfilling lives. In spite of the circumstances I suffered through with my university, I’m overwhelmed to see that my case helped lead the way for other medical practitioners to see the universal truth that altering biological sex is impossibly dangerous, while acceptance of one’s sex leads to flourishing.”
That’s from a report from the ADF, which fought the case on behalf of a professor who expressed his opinion “on treatment approaches for youth experiencing gender dysphoria.”
Officials at the University of Louisville “demoted, harassed, and effectively fired a distinguished professor who successfully led the university’s child psychiatry program,” the ADF reported.
The organization said the school has agreed to pay almost $1.6 million in damages and attorneys’ fees to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of Allan M. Josephson, who warned of the harms of “transitioning” children.
It’s a popular agenda point for the “transgender” part of the LGBT community. However, following the science means no one “changes” from male to female or vice versa, as being a man or woman is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
Officials there demoted, then fired, him.
That’s even though he had been hired for the “then-struggling” Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology.
He turned it into a “program that received a national reputation for its work.”
The legal team noted the school even had an “Allan tracking document,” recruited alumni who were coached on what to say about him, and discussed the need for “strong documentation” that would support his firing.
