In some respects, Mr. Lewis is an unlikely poster child for academic freedom. In his 2006 essay on Iran, he urged the U.S. military in war zones to threaten Muslim intellectuals with "immediate personal destruction" if they do not renounce political Islamism. And he often writes and speaks on behalf of the Ayn Rand Institute, whose leaders are famously insistent on enforcing fidelity to Rand's beliefs, as they see them. "We have to always make a judgment about things we put out, or things put out by people associated with us," says Onkar Ghate, dean of the Objectivist Academic Center, which is affiliated with the institute. "Are they going to be teaching, talking about, advocating Ayn Rand's ideas, or are they doing something else?"

Gosh, I haven't thought about Ayn Rand since I was in college and read The Fountainhead in Philosophy 101.
Goes to show people are being "judged" more frequently with life altering effects. Prejudice runs rampant as our society collapses.

Interesting philosophy, but one I could not embrace.
good post
