As the Legal Insurrection Foundation has discovered in the process of researching colleges and universities for : The Utah State Board of Higher Education (USHE) has gone further than many bluer, more liberal states in mandating anti-racism and CRT. Others may simply see CR’s article as a report of what has occurred on the BYU campus and in social media, but for Ruiz Bybee, apparently even mentioning the episode makes him a victim. Campus Reform, in publishing the post it did, targeted him personally, in his eyes. Ruiz Bybee goes on for dozens of posts in his Twitter thread, claiming victimhood all along. I have known Carl for several years and I really respect him and his work.Ĭan I suggest that the first act of VP of Belonging be to issue a statement condemning the harassment of BYU faculty (me) by right-wing groups? /1 Actually, Ruiz Bybee has begun taking proactive steps with BYU administration:
#PIZZICATO BYBEE CODE#
One wonders how this squares with BYU’s Code of Conduct that Ruiz Bybee relies on for justification of his harassment of students. I have decided to make public those emails/voicemails in this thread. Since then I have received many harassing emails/voicemails. So, last Thursday a right-wing website published a story about me and another colleague. Ruiz Bybee has dug in his heels, going on an extensive rant on Twitter justifying his actions and attacking Campus Reform in what he calls an “interminable” ad hominem attack: Even at the college level, these types of lessons manifestly pit one set of students as the oppressor class, based solely on immutable characteristics. This controversy demonstrates the potential for serious misunderstandings caused by lessons in CRT, anti-racism, intersectionality, and related concepts. He then listed specific names of individuals who have been associated with the organization.īYU Conservatives deleted the original post with the lesson plan, but after receiving the threats from Bybee, they put up a new post with the original lesson plan, along with Ruiz Bybee’s messages to the group: Though the student account is anonymous, Bybee assured he would request that all “BYU students associated with the account and website” be investigated. The students say Bybee also threatened to contact the “Honor Code office” and the “BYU Faculty Center” to investigate the social media account if the post was not removed. “Your beliefs do not give you the right to violate university/faculty member intellectual property and invite targeted harassment of one of my colleagues,” he stated. Bybee then asked for the post to be removed.Īdditionally, the group says it received private messages from Bybee that accuses the students of “invit targeted harassment” of faculty members. According to the group, they began facing backlash from university staff after the post was originally made.Ī screenshot obtained by Campus Reform shows BYU Professor Eric Bybee claiming that the group had broken the university’s Intellectual Property Policy and Honor Code. The assignment was allegedly publicized in a now-deleted social media post by the student-led organization BYU Conservatives. After the post appeared, a different professor, Eric Ruiz Bybee - not involved in the original lesson - sent private messages threatening disciplinary action, including publication of the identities of those involved, to the BYU Conservatives Instagram account. The lesson first appeared on an Instagram account called “ BYU Conservatives.” The admins of the account have remained anonymous, for fear of backlash.Īnd with good reason.
