Holy shit. Students need to record this stuff relentlessly. Did anything come of this?https://twitter.com/Rissian9/status/1073844634420277248 …

Mixed feelings about covert recording of professors. I say some edgy stuff in my human sexuality class that partisans on both sides would find offensive. Do we want to impose a chilling effect on classroom teaching from fear of comments going viral?

Assuming that the professors words aren't being taken out-of-context, Professors concerned about having their lectures recorded need to take inventory of what they're saying.

Should professors only profess things that the lowest common denominator of public opinion would find entirely unoffensive?

If you can’t say it on video, the problem is that you can’t say it, not the video.

Does that apply to people's private lives too?

BTW, the point of twitter polls is not to gather unbiased scientific data. The point is to provoke thought and discussion, and to give people a sense of what other people are thinking.

You can do better. If you can't say it on camera, don't say it to students. Any prof can have stuff taken out of context but that is another issue. This is tantamount to police not wanting body cams.

If I could say it on camera, why would students need to come to campus to hear it?

If the possibility that a professor is being recorded deters them from speaking what they believe to be truth, than that is an issue of cowardice not free speech. Stand by what you believe, and pronounce it to the world. I don't believe in chilling effects.

If you don't believe in chilling effects, then you have nothing to lose from mass social ostracism. Which means, you have nothing to lose.
