As first reported in the Telegraph, FSU member and University College London (UCL) academic Michelle Shipworth has been banned from teaching her own course, after a Chinese student complained that discussing modern slavery in China was too “provocative”. Incredibly, UCL sided with students who said they were “distressed” by her handling of the topic, and imposed a raft of restrictions on Michelle in order to ensure their courses remained “commercially viable” to Chinese students.
Michelle Shipworth is an Associate Professor at UCL’s Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, and has taught at the institution since 2009.
Michelle found herself under investigation after a seminar last October examining data from the Global Slavery Index 2014. The seminar forms part of her ‘Data Detectives’ training module, and is designed to prepare students for an assignment which external examiners have described as “particularly innovative” and “excellent”, and her Faculty’s teaching lead has previously stated is worthy of a teaching award.
Yeah as they fucking lynched the soldiers
I think you got something mixed up.
He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit.

The propaganda outlet of the “Party for Socialism and Liberation” twists history in Chinas favor. Shocker. Defending Russias war in Ukraine too, of course
Despicable.
There is no war in ba sing se.
Why didn’t they list any sources to vett their narrative then? I’d think that if it was well documented they would’ve linked the documents alongside the anti-China articles they listed in the footnotes.
The facts are there, it was the students lynching the soldiers. You can deflect from that all you want, it won’t change history.
That‘s really a ridiculous statement.
