“There is a controversy in Oregon over a proposed change in the ethics rule from the Oregon Medical Board. At issue is the use of ‘microaggressions’ to discipline doctors and to make reporting such transgressions mandatory for all doctors. It seems before you can give stitches, you have to join snitches under one of the most ambiguous categories of prescribed speech. I have been a critic of microaggression rules on college campuses and discuss this trend in my book out this week, ‘The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage’. In past debates over this category of offensive speech, I have objected that it is hopelessly vague and highly controversial. That ambiguity creates a threat to free speech through a chilling effect on speakers who are unsure of what will be considered microaggressive.” (06/24/24)
