Faculty work products including syllabi and their research should be considered work-for-hire and owned by the public, since we pay their salaries.

I read the article. It isn't clear to me, but I'm guessing that the concern from faculty is the willingness of bad actors to harass people who teach anything they find objectionable (like the first grade teacher who was targeted for the "Everyone is welcome here" poster in her classroom). Is this the reason for pushback?
It's a damn shame that the internet has given terrible people the reach to make life even harder for educators, regardless of whether that's the specific concern here.
