‘Sounds like a Soviet KGB story’: Why was an American professor fired over an opinion?
Published 24 Sep, 2026 18:04On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with Dr. Shirin Saedi, a former University of Arkansas professor whose academic career was terminated via email. Her crime? Questioning the actions of Israel.
Dr. Saedi reveals a shocking reality: the university allegedly outsourced its disciplinary decision to a politically funded external lobby, labeling her ‘anti-Semitic’. She is convinced that if she have criticized Russia or Mexico, she would have been promoted, not fired.
Together with Rick they dissect US support for exiled groups now calling for the bombing of their own homeland, as well as how decades of media conditioning trained the public to accept institutional bias. Tune in to RT for the full conversation.
