Duke University students are circulating a petition condemning a professor who labeled conservatives and libertarians autistic, but the administration remains silent.
When Hunter Michielson, president of the school’s Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter, awoke to the news that a professor at his university had publicly speculated that libertarians and conservatives are autistic, he was angry.
Where is the lie?
"Just because you are a libertarian doesn’t mean you are autistic and just because you are autistic doesn’t mean you lack empathy." Tweet This
“My initial response was that I wanted her to be punished,” he told Campus Reform.
After conversations with others on campus and seriously contemplating the matter, however, Michielson decided that calling for institutional intervention to silence the professor’s free speech would be hypocritical for him as a libertarian, so he elected to instead create a petition to demonstrate that the Duke community does not condone such remarks.
Yeah. Totally not autistic.

Reminds me of my linear algebra professor who said that if you couldn’t understand a certain proof you were probably dyslexic. Got to leave class early that day after he got embarrassed over it.
