Recent events surrounding the comment made by professor Richard Berthold have inspired a witch trial straight out of the McCarthy era. Admittedly, what he said was insensitive, but his comment deserves to be heard.
The real question is, is Dr. Berthold being put to trial for his personality or for his ideas? Dubbing undesirable political behavior as mental aberration was a favorite of the late Soviet regime and many other such regimes. So, let's keep personalities out of the discussion and let's focus on ideas.
I agree that Professor Berthold has a guaranteed First Amendment right to free speech but, I believe that he has forgotten that with our rights come responsibilities. I do not believe that the classroom while performing his obligations to UNM was an appropriate setting for such a statement. I feel that he has forgotten that his employer has the right to require a level of professionalism and conduct and that he agreed to abide by these rules when he accepted his position.
