<p>A university student in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a> is facing the loss of his license to practice psychology over a speech he gave as the school&#8217;s valedictorian challenging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical gender theory</a> and defending the traditional family, <a href="https://adfinternational.org/free-speech-backlash-for-mexican-student/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International.</p>
<p>The Autonomous University of Baja California is expected to make a judgement in September on Christian Cortez Pérez&#8217;s future following calls from some of the school&#8217;s professors to have the graduate&#8217;s academic degree and professional license withheld, a press release from the legal group outlines.</p>
<p>“Today we are deep into a real anthropological struggle to redefine the human being, the human person, man, through the implementation of ideologies and fashions of thought that always end up undermining dignity and freedom,&#8221; Cortez Pérez said in his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_r8vLgMg2I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">valedictorian speech</a>, which was given in Spanish on June 27, according to ADF International.</p>
<p>He also quoted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-religion-of-the-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">G.K. Chesterton</a> on the destruction of the family, telling his peers, “People do not know what they are doing; because they do not know what they are undoing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;To attack life and the family is to self-destruct, it is an attack on civilization itself,&#8221; Cortez Pérez continued.</p>
<p>Since the speech, Cortez Pérez has allegedly been the subject of a silencing and sanctioning campaign initiated by some of the school’s professors.</p>
<p>Professors issued a &#8220;manifesto&#8221; calling on the university to sanction the graduate for &#8220;hate speech,&#8221; ADF said, noting that the educators are calling for Cortez Pérez&#8217;s academic degree and professional license to be withheld, his merit award withdrawn, and the psychology associations across Mexico be alerted about his speech.</p>
<p>Such demands were presented to the University Council, and Cortez Pérez was subsequently informed on August 4 &#8220;that the university has initiated proceedings against him and has submitted a counterclaim to protect his rightful interests,&#8221; the press release said.</p>
<p>“I exercised my fundamental right to free speech to address my classmates about what I believe are the most pressing issues of our time,&#8221; Cortez Pérez said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire. &#8220;Now, I stand to lose my entire professional career because I expressed views with which some students and faculty disagree.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Public universities must respect the free speech rights of all students, and I am committed to obtaining justice not just for myself, but for all Mexicans interested in preserving the right to freely express themselves,” he added.</p>
<p>“For exercising his basic human rights and expressing views shared by many, Christian faces irreparable reputational damage and a ban on his professional practice, threatening all that he has worked for in his career,&#8221; said Kristina Hjelkrem, who&#8217;s working in support of the case as ADF International’s legal counsel for Latin America.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the campaign to punish Christian is successful, it shows that anyone who dares to speak in public in Mexico is in danger,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This is a clear violation of international human rights law, reminiscent of dictatorships, not democracies.&#8221;</p>
<p>A judgement on Cortez Pérez&#8217;s future is expected some time this month.</p>
