This took a lot of courage. Glad to see this is being shared. It's the best honest advice I have seen to date.

It was important to say, but I very much doubt there was any courage involved.

I think it fits. Look at the anonymous posts in here, the sheer volume of posts saying this person is failing their students, is a relic, a Luddite, etc.

He put his name and career on it. That takes courage in my opinion.

There were never going to be repercussions for this, so not very courageous.
