“We should debate that point on its merits … as opposed to saying, ‘That’s a dangerous person and we have to avoid them.''
Brigham Young professors were largely unbothered after they were included on a list of teachers to"avoid." Published anonymously on the Righteous Dominion blog Sunday, the list predominately targeted professors for their political views and opinions about the LGBTQ+ community and President Donald Trump.
“Likewise, they’re apparently unaware that our university leadership and faculty embrace diversity and inclusiveness,” the professor said. “…Finally, they are cowards for slandering people they don’t know while remaining anonymous.” “We should debate that point on its merits … as opposed to saying, ‘That’s a dangerous person and we have to avoid them,’” Carter said.
"I don’t put much stock in this weak attempt to shame or scare professors by some self-appointed 'guardians' who refuse to identify themselves and hold no authority in the university or its sponsoring church, and who also fail to recognize that those who do hold authority have deemed these professors worthy of their positions," Adjunct Professor Lee Essig, No. 9 on the list, who was initially concerned it was about teaching performance, said.
“For me, it doesn’t put me at odds with my Church and religious tenets, but perfectly in line with them,” Durfee explained. “Loving and accepting people is the baseline of Christianity and I want students in my classroom to know that they are loved, accepted and respected. I certainly hope an understanding of those views wouldn’t lead people to avoid my classroom, but flock to it.”
