Universities are the lynchpin of the modern American economy. Now, Republicans are going to try to gut them, because they don't understand selection effects: washingtonpost.com/sf/national/20…

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

Here is a deeply thoughtful, interlocking set of threads by @primalpoly @Noahpinion @PsychRabble & @Zmflavius regarding what is happening on campuses these days, in terms of speech and activism. 1/

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

First, a measured (viral) thread by @noahpinion (in response to the also reasonable @primalpoly) arguing that colleges are not hotbeds of liberal intolerance, and that students are selected into college with L-wing beliefs, not rendered such. twitter.com/Noahpinion/sta… 2/

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

Second, an equally thoughtful response by @psychrabble arguing @noahpinion got it wrong in various ways, w examples of L-wing intolerance, and data to boot. twitter.com/PsychRabble/st… Alas, thread seems to break a couple of times, so go to his twitter for long, complete response. 3/

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

And third, then another thoughtful exegesis by @zmflavius highlighting other issues with @noahpinion’s arguments, including how non-action by universities in face of illiberalism subverts universities and public support of them. twitter.com/Zmflavius/stat… 4/

My 7-minute remarks to Silliman College, at Yale, at graduation in 2016. "most of the profound experiences in life happen unannounced, when we least expect them” "a good education is meant to prepare us to see what is not easily seen” youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0pkm…

“If it does not feel difficult to defend free expression, you are not doing it right.” How easily people forget that free speech is, overall, a powerful tool to advance minority rights. yaledailynews.com/blog/2017/11/2…

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

What many students, faculty, and administrators don't see is that advocates of free speech on campus, on both R & L, incl Pauli Murray, me, @TheFIREorg, etc, also strongly support protest. 1/

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

Protest is powerful. I defend it strongly. But protest can't involve silencing others on campus: tearing posters, chilling discussion, calling for resignations for speech, disinvitations, heckler's veto, threats, assault... Email if you want to discuss @gjgroz @HaileyFuchs :-) 2/

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

@gjgroz @HaileyFuchs It would be politically savvy, more in keeping with traditions on the Left, and more intellectually coherent, to have more defense of this understanding of protest @yale from the Left too, and not just depend on the @BuckleyProgram to carry this water (so ably).

At Silliman @NAChristakis & @ErikaChristakis embodied “When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them. Where they speak out for the privileges of a puny group, I shall shout for the rights of all mankind.” nytimes.com/2017/11/26/opi…

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

Like @Noahpinion, I see the US university system as a crown jewel of our society and economy. His analysis of why it’s under attack form outside is worth considering, and has many points I agree with. bloomberg.com/view/articles/…

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis

Why USA must try harder to model freedom of, and respect for, the press. nytimes.com/2017/11/27/wor…
