The model of civil exchange and reasoned compassion will win over. Uphill battle. But we're getting past the initial woodline

A single decent professor not being run out of his university for standing up to the shrieking mob isn't exactly heartening. If reason and civil discourse will win out, it won't be for a very long time. Too many hardline leftists are in too many positions of influence.

No doubt it is deserved, but it is very silly that someone is launched into "Fame" by a controversy about Halloween costumes. Not the hight of his career I suppose

Better than, say, been launched into worldwide fame for not getting a law about transexual rights. But I digresspic.twitter.com/RMjvo9DYE9

I laughed at this comment even though it's not quite fair. Still this is funny because the issue that made him famous was so small.

@DouglasKMurray had the BEST response to the shrieking girl. If you can’t handle an offensive halloween costume, you are useless to the world.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

A well-deserved honor. But it in no way substitutes for a mea culpa from Yale for (a) abandoning him & his wife when attacked; (b) not treating their abuse as a serious violation of Yale’s creed of free speech, the Woodward Report; (c) inexplicably, honoring one of their abusers.

I wonder Sam how you would feel if the students dressed up as Nazis or Auschwitz style pjs for Halloween? Would that still be considered just ‘high spirits’?

He'd probably find it disgusting or silly, or possibly a cheap ploy for attention. Note however that in none of those cases an academic is required to step down. I think that's the point.

His wife made a stupid comment, akin to the idiots in the UK who are outraged about a picture of a ‘golliwog’ being removed from of a famous marmalade brand. He’s meant to be clever, so should have kept out of it. However, I agree that sacking him would of been PC madness.

I read the entire email (see link on the article) It was an intelligent and well mannered email simply asking reasonable questions Couldn't see a stupid comment on there anywhere The reaction appeared to be part of a cynical mob mentality of the campus illiberal leftists

The hate inflicted on the poor girl who basically wished
@NAChristakis a few nights of bad sleep was so indicative of the asymmetry of the relationship that PoC have with the Establishment. -
Watching a teenager demand that one of the country's most revered academics step down for not agreeing with her uninformed argument is not going to go over well with most people, PoC or not.

I don't necessarily agree with the protesting group's actions but when I saw stuff written in Yale message boards it was scary. And I can't help but believe those message boards represented a big swath oh Yale students.
