Subject: Question about "A Teachable Ethics Scandal"
Hi Drew,
Thanks for getting back to me. This is unfortunate news. I understand that SAGE is under legal pressure, and would understandably not like to be, say, bankrupted by a frivolous lawsuit. I'm not sure if that is the level of threat being laid, but that's the impression I'm getting.
Still, from an academic freedom and not whitewashing oppressive history perspective, there are other parties now invested in the outcome.
A lot may hinge on the phrase "once the matter is resolved." Is it a bit like "once the war on terror is over" (i.e. never) or "once climate scientists and fossil fuel industry leaders come to a consensus on whether or not climate change is real and human-influenced" (i.e. never) or is it more like "once the judge renders a decision at the end of the year"?
If we were to shift the critical attention from SAGE to another party, who would be the appropriate party to give critical attention to with the hope that this attention might persuade that party to respect academic freedom and drop the frivolous, history-repressing lawsuit?
Thanks,
Ian

Subject: Proposed retraction of "A Teachable Ethics Scandal"
Dear Dean Koocher,
I am writing as the current president of Psychologists for Social Responsibility, and many in my organization are troubled that a SAGE journal, Teaching of Psychology, has expressed an intention to retract the peer-reviewed and published article "A Teachable Ethics Scandal" by Mitch Handelsman. As we consider the actions we will take to protect academic freedom in this regard, it would help us greatly if you could please indicate why you think the article should be retracted. It would also help for us to know what suggestions, if any, you have made to SAGE or the specific journal in question with regard to how its financial or reputational interests might be affected by not retracting the article.
