The Guardian has published an article about a Professor - Norman Geras - who wrote an esaay called 'Our Morals: The Ethics of Revolution'.
Students at the University of Reading have been told to take care when reading it in order to avoid falling foul of Prevent. The alert came after the text was flagged by the university as “sensitive” under the Prevent programme.
Third-year politics undergraduates have been warned not to access it on personal devices, to read it only in a secure setting, and not to leave it lying around where it might be spotted “inadvertently or otherwise, by those who are not prepared to view it”.
Geras was professor emeritus of government at the University of Manchester until his death in 2013. He rejected terrorism but argued that violence could be justified in the case of grave social injustices.
