@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 Do you think it is political activism? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 I intended no offense; I just don't think you have sufficiently comprehensive knowledge of their work in sum to judge their even handedness on speech. What percentage of their cases have you read? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tdverstynen @ijbailey @CathyYoung63 No not to evaluate this statement, to make larger claims about their place in the culture wars — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 You've shared information with me about your work at Davidson, never about reviewing all of FIRE's work on both sides of the culture war to assess their even handedness or "thumb on the scale." Am I mistaken? Have you investigated all of their cases to inform your judgment? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 You are obsessing over an adjective and calling it a "standard" but in the context of their statement it is clearly not the standard that triggered their interest in this case, which is justified due to the actual standards they set forth up top. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 You've argued that, but always based on your reaction to what you see on Twitter rather than a comprehensive review of all their statements and advocacy work, which you would need to conduct to assess what you claim to know — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 That seems perfectly unobjectionable to me — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 We will have to agree to disagree on this one. Perhaps a court will eventually tell us whether what FIRE objected to violates the First Amendment as they argue. — PolitiTweet.org

@sivavaid @ijbailey @CathyYoung63 Davidson's honor code statement looks fine to me — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 This doesn't seem like it compels any beliefs at all https://t.co/hruirK8sMZ — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 Based on this thread I suspect you mistake it for selective anger because you have an incomplete understanding of substantive distinctions that FIRE is carefully attuned to, like the difference between an oath and an honor code — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 I would certainly find it objectionable of the honor code compelled students to falsely say they believe things they don't believe but, having not looked at it, I suspect it instead sets forth expected standards of behavior that do not clash with academic freedom. Is that right? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @tdverstynen @CathyYoung63 This is why the case law that clarifies students can't be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance is good. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 I do not believe compelling students to take the Hippocratic oath is lawful. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 I trust and hope Davidson students aren't instructed to repeat the Commitment of Freedom Statement in unison as if they all believe everything in it and I know of that was the practice there FIRE would properly oppose it. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 In my own words, I would say it is unethical to use social pressure to coerce one's peers in academia into making politicized statements that many of them disagree with. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 No I thought the convo was about "do no harm" as in the other thread and you were comparing the new stuff to that — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 I thought you were talking only about "do no harm" which is what I think everyone agrees with. Of course you're right that different people will interpret that differently. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 Because instead of having them say a thing literally everyone agrees with they have them say a thing lots of people disagree with. — PolitiTweet.org

@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser I agree that it's a complex idea--my argument is that almost everything various scholars call "whiteness" could be better communicated with different names that convey their various complex ideas less confusingly. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser due to various other commonly used definitions of whiteness. Hence "understandable." — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser The argument is that Nigerian immigrants are among the highest earning groups in the United States. Under a hierarchy definition of whiteness it would seem to be coherent to say they possess more whiteness than African Americans... which would confuse the hell out of most people, — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser By your definition of whiteness, do you think it would be accurate or inaccurate for a paper on the United States to assert, "Nigerian immigrants possess more whiteness than African Americans"? — PolitiTweet.org
