What reading level is Freedom of Teaching in the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There has doubtless been much exaggeration as to the number of cases of absolute suppression of academic freedom. Almost any academic teacher who loses his place is able to make some sort of showing as a martyr of freedom. There have been in the past two decades perhaps a dozen examples of violent displacement because of opinion alone; there have been many more where the issue was mixed; and there have been a still greater number where removal was due to perfectly valid causes and where the iss...ue of academic freedom was improperly exploited. A genuine and flagrant case of violation of freedom is hard on the individual victim, but it generally arouses such active protest in academic circles as to lead in the end to strengthening the cause of freedom. There is another kind of repression in which there are no compensating advantages. This may be termed latent repression, and it may take a variety of forms. Appointments may be limited to men known to hold approved views; constant pressure may be secretly exerted to limit or avoid such teaching as would offend possible donors; official discouragement may be visited upon certain depart- ments or courses which are under suspicion; or men whose views are not in harmony with the desired standards may be refused deserved advancement.
