    Economics professor says Wright State won't let him open class critical of Marxism to all students

    An economics professor at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says the school has repeatedly denied his request to teach an elective class critical of Marxism to the general student body.

    ...Only honors students will be allowed to take Osborne's class "Marxism: A History of Theory and Practice” despite his requests that it be opened to any student, The College Fix first reported.

    "The honors class … sharply limits who can take it," Osborne said. "The biggest damage is being done to students in business, in the college of economics. Most of them are not honors students. … They deserve to hear."

    His non-honors class got blocked after objections from faculty, including anonymous complaints. No other Wright State faculty have been told they can't teach a class because other professors anonymously objected, Osborne said. He has taught there since 1994 and has tenure, he said....
