Nothing says “I’m a good Christian” like seeking permission to harass one’s students/classmates.

Baylor University specifically sought assurance that the university and its students could not be accused of sexual harassment for their behavior towards LGBTQIA+ people. Your religious tenets should not require you to act in a way that may be classified as sexual harassment.

Just walked out of my last class. It is 5:41 pm. Class ended at 4:50. Students. Would. Not. Leave. I love them so much and they are so sad and confused.

@sudha_lakshmi I don’t mean this to be snarky, but the specific worry is fascism. One’s last resort when confronted with fascism is escape. And that just cannot happen without a passport. Cc @jasonintrator

It may seem like a strange time to share good news, but if something good (no matter how small) has happened to you I encourage you to share. Your good news could be the breath of fresh air someone needs to brighten up their day ✨

Throwing up barriers to a decent primary and secondary education is a long tradition in the US. This didn't start in 2020.

I’m really amazed by the number of people I see saying that if you’re not old or already sick with an underlying condition, corona virus won’t kill you, as if anyone old or sick isn’t a person. Do you think you’re not the same person you’ve always been when you get old or sick?

I am seeing a zillion tweets about the WSJ piece on the retreat of boys and men from higher ed. I first want to congratulation WSJ on having much more liberal labor practices than I realized. It was so kind of them to give every single one of their editors the day off.

I've always been very depressed by people's inability to draw connections between events that occurred in the past and current conditions. But if folks can't even see a cause and effect over 3 weeks time then we are basically worse off than squirrels.
