lize that Campus Watch in no way infringes on Freedom of Speech but is simply a resource for Jewish students.Campus Watch has demonstrably been a resource for students and commentators of all faiths, not simply Jews,vans sk8. That error aside, the message makes it clear that the Pipes appearance at Stanford was canceled by Joel Beinin’s followers — on the claim that Campus Watch was an enemy of free speech! After receiving the cancellation notice, Pipes offered to waive his usual honorarium, but the student board rejected Pipes’s generous offer and reaffirmed its disinvitation.Ever since Daniel Pipes established the Campus Watch website, he has been accused of McCarthyism. That charge has been rebutted again and again, yet still the charge is leveled. It has become a convenient excuse for silencing Pipes. Yes, the Campus Watch website posts the work of professors who it believes are biased and misleading in their treatments of topics Middle Eastern. But that is a way of starting debate,discount vans shoes, not stopping it.In “Balancing the Academy,” I showed that, if anyone, it is actually the post-colonial theorists who dominate contemporary Middle Eastern Studies who “blacklist” their foes. Post-colonial theory is built around a technique that labels academic opponents bigoted “Orientalists.” After naming the names of such supposedly reactionary scholars, and after claiming to expose their work as bigoted, the post-colonialists reward one another with tenured chairs. I think the post-colonialist’s assessment of their foes is wrong. Even so, I don’t doubt their right to speak and write as they do. Nothing Daniel Pipes has done holds a candle to the “blacklisting” technique of his foes. So why should he be silenced, while the post-colonialists remain in control of the academy?In “Campus Conformity,” a recent op-ed in the New York Post, I showed how one of Pipes’s most prominent critics called Campus Watch “McCarthyite,” yet did so on a website called “Israel Lobby Watch.” So how is it that Campus Watch is condemned as McCarthyite, while Israel Lobby Watch gets a pass?The only remaining excuse for the rank hypocrisy of Daniel Pipes’s foes is that the Campus Watch website posts complaints by students of professorial bias,discount vans shoes. This, supposedly, is the heart and soul of Pipes’s McCarthyism. It is true that the posting of student complaints is a less than ideal procedure — a last resort in a discipline that has all but shut out voices of those who support American foreign policy. But the decision to post student complaints ought to be the subject of reasoned debate, not an excuse to silence critics.In “Students Fight Back,” I offered a detailed defense of the new website, NoIndoctrination.org. NoIndoctrination.org posts complaints about professors who try to force their political views on students. Here is an entire website that does what the most controversial section of Campus Watch does. Yet as I showed in “Students Fight Back,” this site is not violating professors free speech, it is defending the free speech of students. Recently, The Chronicle of Higher Education held a public colloquy on the controversy over NoIndoctrination.org. And plenty of the participants in that colloquy defended the site. So if The Chronicle of Higher Education can hold a reasoned public debate over the legitimacy of posting student complaints about professorial bias, why can’t Daniel Pipes answer complaints about Campus Watch during an appearance at Stanford University or at Colltown?Recently, Harvard University canceled an appearance by poet Tom Paulin, after some truly vicious remarks of his against Jews became known. Then, under criticism for stifling free speech, Harvard relented and reinvited Paulin. I think that was the right thing to do. Of course, no one is owed an invitation to speak at Harvard University. But once having invited Paulin, the best way to react to his scurrilous remarks would have been to peacefully protest his appearance (without shouting him down), and to actively question and criticize him, whil Related articles:
