Save Dr. Joeckel's Job

The Issue

Dr. Samuel Joeckel, an English professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University for over 20 years, has been accused of "indoctrinating" students because he is teaching racial justice and reconciliation in a composition course. Course materials include works from Black authors and civil rights activists. The school wants to fire Dr. Joeckel for teaching these materials and educating students about the realities of racism in America. 

An institution of higher education is nothing without its dedicated faculty and I can tell you backward and forwards that there is nobody who cares more for the life and intellectual wellbeing of his students more than Dr. Samuel Joeckel.

As a Christian university, PBAU must be held accountable for its action against Dr. Joeckel and his teaching. We demand Dr. Joeckel's contract be renewed and that he not be terminated from the university.
