      Wouldn't @HdxAcademy have welcomed such an XO from Obama as a bold move to ensure compliance with #1A? Let's do some soul-searching about how much of the reaction is to Trump doing it vs it being done at all.

      I don't think the response from us would've been different. Honestly. This is a longstanding and consistent philosophy of HxA that ties out to our general theory of change, and our literal structure as a membership organization.

      That said, the messenger matters, the context matters, for how a message is received. I do think if Obama had tried something like this (he was very sympathetic to the need for viewpoint diversity: https://heterodoxacademy.org/obama-endorses-heterodox-academy/ …), it would've been received in a much different way.

      But right or wrong, it's the reality we live in. And in the world we live in, practically speaking, this kind of move is likely to make many on the left even more hostile towards free speech and viewpoint diversity. It could make the climate on campus worse for conservs.

      For soemone like Trump to propose something like this, at CPAC no less, seems like smoking gun evidence that viewpoint diversity and free expression have always been a shibboleth for the right, or even white supremacists, to push thier ideology and agenda on campus.

      You're falling straight into POTUS's endgame plan to drive the academic Left so nuts with paranoia that they out themselves as hopelessly delusional to voters, and as implacably opposed to freedom.

      Again, we (Deb, Jon and I) do not hold the sort of views described above, obviously. We are not falling into that trap. We are skeptical of this on principle. But I think you're right about the left more broadly, as I've written about extensively myself:https://musaalgharbi.com/2017/04/20/trump-opponents-need-stop-playing-hands/ …

      But even though we disagree the way many on the left react to Trump -- the reality is that this is how many people *are* responding. And it makes our work harder, much harder, in many respects.

      But the XO might make our work much less necessary, if carried out properly. It cuts through the Gordian knot of culture wars by threatening the one things admins really care about : money.

          The issue to my mind is that admins can be brought on board, and they can set policies allowing people to speak -- but they can't force people to listen, to engage, certainly not in charity or with good faith.

          You need both sides of the equation, right? Screaming into a vacuum is not free speech in a meaningful sense. So if we get a top-down realignment of formal structures without local buy-in, what we'd likely see is...
