Do NDAs Apply to Bad Dreams?

Bad dreams are just random neurological noise that interupt sleep so any connection to reality is obviously coincidental. :)

I had been snatched as I was about to go into class, thrown into a tiny room that reeked of vitriol. Fifteen minutes later, I was evicted, walking toward the parking lot with just my knapsack, my computer and a letter commanding me not to speak with any of the tens of thousands of staff, students, past and present, and faculty—indeed anyone who knew of the university’s existence. 

My office of almost fourteen years was empty, a forced abandonment. Would I have left any differently if I had smoke curling under my office door and flames down the hallway?

But no, there was no fire. It was a spontaneous and impulsive suspension from my second-rate lecturer position at my little-known university.

The story didn’t have much to it.  Some digital stranger in South Asia had spat out that he wanted Israel destroyed. I said I stood with Israel. I added that if you stand with the Palestinian government (that’s Hamas), you stand with Nazis.

No biggie, free speech.  Off to class. 

Silly me, I though…
