I think professors need to be involved in politics to improve and change the current political situation. Politics is the ground for all. Politics should be open for every single citizen. Even professors. Some people say politics should be separate from teaching and research. But, I don’t think so. We are political animals. Second, professors are discreet, gentle, and well-educated. So, they can judge what is right and wrong. They need to use their wisdom and discretion for the public good, professors are experts in their fields. We cannot confine their expertise and wisdom to the Ivory Tower. Secular criticism is urgent and necessary.
