That may be, but publishing personal information such as home addresses and private telephone numbers is beyond the pale, wouldn't you agree?

Demanding teaching instead of politicking during the class is not a "speech" problem. It's a matter of getting Profs back to where they should be. No, that's not what this campaign of Pipes is all about. It's about getting rid of certain views. There are very well established and fairly effective ways to address the problems you mention. Interesting that the Pipes crowd doesn't address the problems of "politicking" in class by members of his own crowd. Or faculty members whose views he approves. Horowitz'' success with state legislatures has nothing do with the any sort of problem in the academy; has to do with the rise of the right in politics and it's lack of tolerance for opposing points of view.
