Emphasizing compassion and patience for persons, while criticizing their positions, if invalid, we do agree on those ideas.

I don't see her blog as arguing a trivial point about paperwork. A generous reading of this post might be to acknowledge the difficult position the author feels she is being put into by her employer. Being coerced to lie affects some persons much more than others. I encourage readers to care about that. Maybe the author can provide additional and better examples than the one in the original blog post.

For example, imagine if MSU required her to sign an affirmation like "Civility in the workplace is of the highest importance." She might value civility, but finds the affirmation process dangerously coercive, or she feels something(s) else is(are) of higher importance. Read the following real-life example of a professor resigning instead of signing a loyalty oath. "What dismays and disappoints Sallis most is the way state employees, as well as the rest of us, simply give in to this politically imposed demand." https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/ej-montini/2015/09/28/montini-phoenix-college-arizona-state-legislature-loyalty-oath-james-sallis/72981924/

I encourage readers also to care about curing the paralysis you, happy wok, seem so eager to perpetuate. Apparently we disagree on tactics: I think you are hurting much more than you realize with your willful, strident insults, especially in this particular venue.
