Maintaining diversity of opinion is a two-way street that requires tolerance from everyone. Refusing to invite intolerant people is not hypocritical; it ensures the culture of spirited debate is preserved for all comers.

I encourage females and minorities to take STEM classes for STEM jobs and challenge themselves.
Calling racism or sexism esp when almost none exists, there has been no evidence of racism on MU campus for six months. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/11/confirmed-there-is-a...
So what is the deal? If there was racism there'd be some evidence of it.
When I see an SJC opinion on identity politics and tech, my first instinct is to check github to see if the author has ever contributed to open source or has any sizable projects of their own published. I'd guess that 99 times out of 100 they don't.
There are a lot of loudmouthed people with lots of opinions and no street cred.
Pretty much every scandal over the past few years have involved someone with little to no content in their github profile. I encourage anyone with a particular scandal in mind to go find the github profile of the person at the center of the scandal and see if they've accomplished much if anything as software engineer.
Many talented engineers are precluded by their contracts from contributing, use other channels to do so, or simply don't work on open source projects. Dismissing someone because of an empty github profile seems like a bit of a hair trigger reaction.
Your own citation:
> The Student’s Association President Payton Head said he was called the n-word.
> A group of black students said they were called the n-word by some guy in a car.
In what context is someone saying "a thing happened to me" not considered evidence that the thing happened?
