My friend Clayton Smith ( @_NotYourRealDad), who founded CODA two years ago and recruited me to join before he graduated (I’ve since left), returns to @Sundial_CU.
Read him on how CODA — ostensibly dedicated to “open discourse” — has betrayed its mission.

My friends at @Sundial_CU invited me to write a guest essay about how The Columbia Open Discourse Alliance (CODA) has fallen well short of it's founding principles. (I should know, I founded it!).

.@shoshanaaufzien on the backlash to me and Christina Ma’s recent essay: “The authors warned that campus discourse on the ‘Cornell Seven’ had devolved into a ‘frenzy’ that vilified dissent. Their critics then inadvertently proved their point.”

“We cannot let mob rule dictate what gets printed. And we will keep asking our critics to do what they have so far declined to do: write.”

My friend @shoshanaaufzien disagrees with me on the “Cornell Seven.” And she’s just written a fantastic defense of @Sundial_CU for publishing my take.
Sundial will not “cease organizational operations.” It will continue defending free expression.

ICYMI, my now campus-discourse-setting @Sundial_CU essay on why the “Cornell Seven” is really about a contradiction in liberalism as practiced: promoting libertine sexuality while infantilizing women.

On the Cornell case: "We cannot claim to stand for sexual freedom and then recoil in disgust when there’s a possibility that a young woman simply chose to exercise it." —@NikosMohammadi
Refreshing to see a college paper demonstrate courage on this issue — proud of my successors at @Sundial_CU.
The “Cornell Seven” is really about liberalism as practiced in the opening decades of the 21st century — celebrating libertine sexuality while infantilizing women.
