Here. Will the American Philosophical Association do so? I'm skeptical, but let us see.
ADDENDUM: Some of the comments that follow make clear that Linguistics is afflicted by the same mindless identity politics that afflicts philosophy:
Unproductive and unsupportive
Permalink Submitted by cmgreen on Tue, 04/26/2022 – 6:43pmI view this as directly hostile to efforts to reduce the toxicity in linguistics that causes junior and minoritized scholars to feel unable to voice their views and pursue their research interests in the culture as it is. This sort of statement plays into a right wing moral panic designed to secure the supremacy of established and over-represented voices. We should learn from our contentious past (and present) and avoid actions like this.
A hostile and direct challenge

Let me be absolutely clear that I view the Chicago Principles on Freedom of Expression proposal as a hostile and direct challenge to the racial inclusion work that I and so many others have been doing. You only need to look at the signatories and how they responded to the Pinker incident to get the thrust of the full range of issues and sentiments behind it.
Professor Hudley (author of the second comment) teaches in an education school, where this kind of blather seems increasingly common.
