You can't possibly be saying that anyone has a right to say anything anywhere. If so, then presumably you would not object if a professor of physics announced that he had concluded that there was no merit to the theory of relativity and insisted on only teaching his theory, which is that all matter is really feta cheese. He has the right to stand on a street corner and shout that theory to anyone who passes by. He has the right to write a letter to the editor, publish a book or disseminate that theory however he might want. However, he doesn't have the right to keep his job as a teacher if he propounds nonsense in class.
