From Dr. Block: 

There Are Now Two Ongoing Public Petitions; One To Get Me FIRED, The Other, A Counter Petition, To Get Me A RAISE

Here’s the latest in this saga:

Ruby, Emma and Rose Wagner. 2020. “Clashing petitions call for Walter Block to be fired, given a raise over academic work.” Loyola Maroon, Loyola University New Orleans, June 17;

https://loyolamaroon.com/10028406/news/academic/petitions-call-for-walter-block-to-be-fired-given-a-raise-over-academic-work/

As far as I’m concerned, no publicity is bad publicity, as long as they spell my name correctly. They have done so here, so I am grateful to them. Perhaps, with this added publicity, those who want to see me be fired from Loyola will be led to read what I have actually written, published, said, about these issues. I thank Anton Chamberlin for setting up the counter RAISE petition.

Here is the critical FIRED petition:

Here is the RAISE petition that supports me:

I decided to take it upon myself to start a counter-petition, if you will, one demanding you be given a raise. I know you get baseless attacks thrown your way all the time, but this time it really got under my skin. You’re a wonderful friend and mentor, Walter. I’m beyond thankful for the time I spent at Loyola with you. It’s an honor to call you my friend. Anyway, here’s MY petition. Anton Chamberlin
