I guess the same way we protect the jobs of engineers, newspaper columnists, and fork lift operators from being fired for their views. Hopefully we would be tolerant of those with opinions different than us but I see no reason why they should get more protection than the folks whose taxes help pay their salaries.
I'm not necessarily for the "Academic Bill of Rights", just mostly against tenure.
