California passes law that would seem to prohibit academics at public institutions from visiting countries...

...that discriminate against LGBT citizens--which is a lot of countries!    Philosopher Michael Cholbi called this to my attention, but I haven't seen much on it, though it would seem to be a significant violation of the contractual right of California faculty to academic freedom, since there are many pedagogical and research-related reasons faculty might need to travel to countries with otherwise reprehensible policies.   Comments are open for readers who know more about this law and what it means.
