As the pandemic caused by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) forces college and university lectures online, left-wing academics in the United States are apparently nervous about the possibility that what they are teaching may be publicized by “right wing sites,” Campus Reform reports.

Conservatives and others have long criticized the nation’s institutions of higher learning for what they say is academia’s radical bent and have tried to bring accountability to the field. But those efforts to make what professors say in the lecture halls public have been met with often fierce resistance by schools that invoke privacy rights and even copyright laws to keep lectures offline.
