Conservative student, then a teacher, says he was’ removed’
According to records, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison attempted to withdraw her own graduate student.
After Jason Morgan made public statements criticizing historians about World War II adultery, Professor Louise Young attempted to remove her own graduate student from a renowned scholarship program.
After receiving emails from the State Department via a Freedom of Information Act ask, Morgan, who is now a professor in Japan, confirmed Young tried to list him. At the time, he was a postgraduate student.
Morgan ( pictured ) refuted the widely held notion that Japan had not drafted Korean women into prostitution during World War II. Morgan just explored the matter, and ensuing educational discussion, in a publication with Harvard University rules Professor Mark Ramseyer.
He provided the total emails to The Repair while providing some of the Big Ten university controversy in the book. Morgan was formerly a The Fix writer.
The withdrawal try began 2015, during Morgan’s day as a Fulbright Fellow, a State Department system. After Young contacted them with the concern that he was sharing these sights on “extremist right aircraft” stores in Japan, Fulbright program rulers reprimanded Morgan.
The Fix contacted Fulbright and Matthew Sussman, the executive director of Fulbright in Japan at the time of Morgan’s brotherhood, to inquire as to whether the actions against him were correct given that the system is government-run and must adhere to free speech laws.
Sussman cautioned Morgan against mentioning his Fulbright involvement in conversations with teams.
Various requests for comment sent in the past week were never responded to by Sussman and the Fulbright program.
In a separate FOIA request Morgan made to The Fix, another doctor in the UW-Madison past office, Viren Murthy, considered recommending him for a scholarship in France, but was turned down in 2016 after Young expressed her unpleasant sights of Morgan.
Young wrote in the message,” I would caution you very against recommending him.” He is “really aggressive and prone to get sucked into unforeseen points”
Young also said that Morgan was “unemployable” in the message she wrote to her classmate. Furthermore, she said that he is just interested in being a “martyr” for liberals.
Young wrote,” I reluctantly accepted the fact that he is not engaged in reasoned conversation.” He simply wants to arouse people before they attack him, so that he can be a martyr for the great liberal cause.
The Fix contacted Young, who is still employed by the school, to inquire whether it was appropriate for her to try to silence a child’s views that she disagreed with, and whether or not she felt this violated the right to free speech.
Young did not respond to numerous comments made last year.
Murthy did not respond to a request for comment sent on March 15 that asked if he would have handled the situation different in the present.
A request for comment from the school’s media relations staff, which inquired if the university was aware of how Morgan was treated by its faculty and if it was typical for professors to tamper with a child’s participation in a scientific program, was never returned.
In a new publication he co-authored with Harvard Professor Mark Ramseyer called” The Comfort Women Hoax,” Morgan, a former teacher at Reitaku University in Japan, information his care by UW- Madison instructors and Foreign leaders as well as his views on satisfaction women.
Ramseyer and Morgan state in the book that they are not disputing prostitution but rather that their argument stems largely from a fictional work by a Japanese communist.
The book also describes how Morgan was “blacklisted” by Sarah Thal, another history professor at UW- Madison, assigned by Young to become his new advisor.
Morgan claims that Thal was eager to recommend him for the positions he was applying to, but he later learned that Thal had written a number of unfavorable reference letters on his behalf after not receiving any responses from many of these positions.
Thal did not respond to a March 12 College Fix inquiry into her past deeds or regrets.
‘ Shamelessness’ is a problem in academia, Morgan says
In an email to The Fix, Morgan shared his thoughts on his experience.
According to Morgan,” Louise Young is fairly representative of the kind of people who run American academia.” It’s a shame how she stifled discussion and used personal attacks to silence me.
” Louise ought to be ashamed of herself”, he said.
” I confess I expected more from Professor Murthy, but, sadly, cowardice, like shamelessness, is a prerequisite for most academic posts in North America”, Morgan said.
Morgan added that he thinks university faculty intentionally violated his right to free speech.
” As for free speech, Louise Young, along with several other people at the University of Wisconsin, absolutely infringed my freedom of speech and academic freedom”, Morgan said.
” They did so deliberately and maliciously”, he said. ” They did it again and again”.
According to what I can tell, they did it because I disobeyed their lies about comfort women history.
