I'm in #OKC today speaking at @NAAE's national conference. I have the opportunity to speak about democracy and the role of deliberative pedagogy in the classroom.

The challenges we face today in higher education--and society--are real. Educators need to respond accordingly.

Thanks to @KeirnKinnan from @WildcatsVote at @KState and Donna Schenck-Hamlin representing both @LWV and @ICDD on @1350KMAN this morning. As I mentioned to @brandon_peeps, #voting in a basic and foundational act in democracy.

Today's interview on @1350KMAN highlighted the importance of nuanced and educated takes on actions by elected officials, even when it runs counter to how you think about a topic; the #SupremeCourt nomination process; and the death of #MadeleineAlbright.

It was an honor to be part of this discussion today about #LegitimatePoliticalDiscourse. And thanks to the callers with great comments and questions. Thanks to @SHDetroit and @wdet for engaging important discussions with real impacts, locally and beyond.

"Who are the ones raising their voices? Who are the ones breaking the decorum... and are screaming?" asks Shaffer, noting that that changes the lens by which we interpret what is legitimate political discourse. #DetroitToday

[Stephen Henderson @SHDetroit]

What is legitimate political discourse? How does it apply to various protests? What kind of civil disobedience is legitimate?

Later we'll talk with @timothyjshaffer, director of a university institute on civil discourse.

Thanks to @NatComm for sharing my article with @jenmercieca from @ConversationUS about what happened on #January6th and the use of #LegitimatePoliticalDiscourse."
