<br>
Sunsara
Taylor had gone to EHSC to make a statement explaining why it was wrong for
them to have disinvited her from her long-scheduled talk on "Morality
Without Gods" because some disagreed with her analysis and perspective,
and the broader chill in society to which this act contributed when a group such
as this suppressed rather than debated controversial opinions. She planned to
leave EHSC to give her talk "in exile" at the nearby home of an EHSC
member and invite all who wanted to hear it to join her. (See <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102828458112&s=200&e=0018emHjq719t3preoOmi7fLsbQSztrQ9TD1THQ5FEtt0NufmBzT8KyLQ4PuEzLOKP3IDwCyGprdWwnlmklBli8i-ZiBGRON1vBkfojFpfjqnzrJRWWEjcWNszPQfuNEUoQlHpxRiJqm7-8DJpYOA70QDzCiGeJTCzbSz6Kv9EYmYfTkLC1ztin6YYkgyhyk8TU"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1258379293_1">http://sunsara. blogspot. com/2009/ 11/sunsara- taylor-on- ethical-humanist .html</span></a>.)
She had announced her intention to do this the day before at a well-attended
workshop she gave at EHSC on "The Liberation of Women and the Emancipation
of Humanity." (<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102828458112&s=200&e=0018emHjq719t04IyHVJNJyX0R_83bLstVJfJcpxq3to1V9DRPT-rKuEvcq7ZpdTTgm6PWmnwOhvHOLQ8ejeemfodDVwXP1cVtxr8c5ViEMyu416U_rZ7ArH5ZKvSKPwI6cOylOS8SN6fo="><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1258379293_2">See her statement here</span></a>). This same videographer had taped that workshop, without incident and working
with members of the Society to do so.<br>
<br>
In
a move that defies any logic other than the continued cover-up and unethical
suppression of Sunsara's views, EHSC had the police arrest the videographer,
whose only action was recording her words in a "<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1258379728_8"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1258386846_7">Michael Moore</span></span> moment." If EHSC felt Sunsara
was causing some harm through her 2-minute statement before the start of their
program, why did they not ask her to stop? Why did they instead arrest
the videographer? <br>
<br>
That
the EHSC is willing to trample on the future, health and freedom of a man
simply to justify and cover-up their dis-invitation of Sunsara Taylor is itself
even more profoundly immoral and unethical -- and it must be stopped. <br>
<br>
As
Sunsara put it in her statement, <span style="font-style: italic;">"Today, progressive and radical thinkers
across the country are routinely dis-invited, their speech is routinely
suppressed, they are pressured to self-censor, they are fired or denied tenure,
and the discourse of this society is routinely kept within 'safe' limits that
do not challenge a bloody status quo. To go along with this, and contribute to
this, is to do great harm. Indeed, the ideas that are allowed to circulate in
society and the ideas that are suppressed, have everything to do with whether
the crimes of this world will be allowed to continue or whether these will be
called out, resisted and stopped. I ask that each of you reading this now add
your voice against this act of suppression. ...
