Opinion by Paul Butler: Yes, you should be fired for a tweet if that tweet reveals you do not have the ability to do your job.
Shapiro recommended that Biden select Sri Srinivasan, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, who is of South Asian descent: “But alas [Srinivasan] doesn’t fit into the latest intersectionality hierarchy so we’ll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?”Shapiro soon deleted the tweet and apologized for it, calling it “inartful.” But the damage was done. William M.
Maybe for conservatives, Shapiro’s bias would be easier to understand in another context. Louis Brandeis was the first Jewish person confirmed to the Supreme Court in 1916. Much of the opposition to his appointment was blatantly antisemitic. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge stated, “If it were not that Brandeis is a Jew … he would never have been appointed.” If someone had complained that a more qualified gentile had been passed over for a “lesser Jew,” it would be obvious that comment was antisemitic.
The problem with the academic freedom argument is that it proves too much. It is true that Shapiro has the “right” to say anything he pleases, including any stupid racist or sexist thing. But a university should not be indifferent to the meaning and impact of those words, especially on students.
