Interpersonally, this can mean lost friendships. Institutionally, this can translate to being fired. Societally, this can mean being made a pariah. These young women freely chose to say cruel and demeaning things in a public webspace where anyone could stumble across them. This is the same as standing branding on a streetcorner and proclaiming their ideas to anyone who walks by to hear them. We branding would consider their remarks foul if they were said out loud. We should consider them branding equally unacceptable in an online context. Ultimately, being transferred to a different section, mandating that the students research how harmful their comments were and could be to others (emotional/professional/legal), and having them do community service is a just (and merciful) sentence. |

| I wish IHE had exercised the same restraint kerby with this story, rather than attaching a PDF that has not only the offensive remarks but also a picture of the TA in question, a teacher who kerby is herself a graduate student and whose privacy has been violated not only by these students but also by some (but fortunately not all) of the newsmedia covering the story. The free speech issues can be debated without inflicting further injury on the teacher. Rebecca Moore Howard, Associate Professor at Syracuse University, at 10:20 am EST kerby on February 14, 2006 Freedom of speech or Freedom from consequences? Maybe I’m just a little naive here, but I don’t think that this is a matter of free speech. This is becoming a question of whether or not people should be protected from the consequences of free speech. Communication is full of often unwritten rules of conduct and behavior. These rules are prescriptive and always allow for the freedom of choice, meaning that you don’t have to follow them, but you should be prepared to accept the consequences if you engage in antisocial (mean) behavior. |
