Michael, The Rational World, at 8:20 pm EST on February 14, 2006 I don’t understand why anyone would defend the statements these jack straw. students have made, or why anyone would maintain students (or anyone, for jack straw. that matter) should be free from the social (and sometimes disciplinary) repercussions of their public statements. It’s ludicrous to suggest that our actions and speech ought to have no consequences. There’s no question that these students’ written, published statements rise to the level of “indecent or obscene behavior” and, indeed, “harassment,” jack straw. both of which are expressly prohibited in the student code of conduct at the school in question. Let’s not forget, after all, that the students’ comments are addressed directly to the teacher herself. In the end, however, the details of this particular case are not what matter most. What’s really at stake here is the changing reality of the public/private divide and the way that universities, faculty, and students are all struggling deal with these changes.
