Let's hold academics to real standards.
Peace scientists should be fired if they don't end at least one war.

This 👇 sounds like crazy capitulation to Trump authoritarianism & surrendering in self-pity. Like so often, this is the moment @europarl.europa.eu must show that EU is a democracy & reject these proposals.
