Lindsay Shepherd @NewWorldHominin Re: those claiming I have a right-wing agenda: Unfortunately, you have missed the point. Freedom to circulate ideas and debate current affairs is everyone's issue. I am a leftist. But I do not represent the leftism of Rambukkana/Pimlott, who believe in shutting down opposition 12:56 PM - Nov 16, 2017 138 263 1,062

Jonathan Haidt's tweet

Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt The Lindsay Shepherd recording shows how "safety culture" operates in activist academic departments. It's Orwell and Kafka. Please listen to the interrogation, and how Shepherd stands up to it:

Transcript of part of the audio recording

Rambukkana: Do you see how this is something that is not intellectually neutral, that is kind of "up for debate," I mean this is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Shepherd: But it is up for debate. Rambukkana: You're perfectly welcome to your own opinion, but when you're bringing it into the context of the classroom that can become problematic, and that can become something that is, that creates an unsafe learming environment for students. Shepherd: But when they leave the university they're going to be exposed to these ideas, so I don't see how I'm doing a disservice to the class by exposing them to ideas that are really out there. And I'm sorry l'm crying, I'm stressed out because this to me is so wrong, so wrong. Joel: Can I mention the... Gendered and Sexual Violence Policy?
