The whole university thing has gradually become a centre for
censorship and enforced uniformity<br>
to consensus and status quo. This censorship extends to the
"scientific" journals<br>
as well as to the campus and classroom.<br>

<div>I had always thought that it was a sacred canon of our
profession that the classroom requires certain and very
specific rules of engagement from us as teachers. I would
never, for example, respond to libertarians in my classroom
the way I respond to some libertarians on Twitter. That some
people are so quick to believe that how someone acts on
Twitter—or Facebook or the comments section of a
blog—inevitably bleeds into how she acts in the classroom
suggests that the problem lies less with Salaita and his
defenders than with his critics, who seem to have a rather
more precarious and shrunken sense of what it is that we do
when we teach. Assuming of course that these critics are
being sincere when they raise concerns about Salaita’s
teaching. But since Salaita’s critics are so convinced that
how someone acts outside the classroom is a good measure of
how they will act inside the classroom, I suggest we
investigate how every professor with college-age children
treats her children at home in order to assess how she will
treat her students in class.</div>
