@CUJewsIsraelis I am no fan of Trump but urge people to read Columbia's internal report: Report #2: Task Force on Antisemitism | Columbia University in the City of New York. If even half is true, then sadly, Columbia deserves sanctions for allowing harassment, serious Title 6 violations.

@sfmcguire79 It is very sad that there will be no accountability for these college administrators. Congress needs to pass laws to change that...but for now we can all ridicule them.

@nils_gilman I'm no fan of Trump, having voted against him five times so far, but we brought this on ourselves. Look at the FIRE data on the % of academics losing jobs or not getting jobs at all due to woke activism (I know several). As FIRE shows, it's worse than under McCarthyism.

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@arotherham OK, I'm largely a single issue freedom voter, and 48% of Americans self-censor at work---three times the percent of the McCarthy era, and the Biden admin (including Title IX rules) made it far worse so I cannot vote for either of these clowns (voted Biden last time).

@DeAngelisCorey Drennen should stop stereotyping and meet the families she wants to outlaw.

Sowell shows unique brilliance. For this working-class kid raised in integrated settings, Sowell's 1972 Black Education: Myths and tragedies, was the only thing I read in college on race/class that understood people I knew. Empirical. Insightful. Powerful. Empathetic.

@sullydish I am a Sully fan, but recall the quantitative research indicating that Americans seem far more afraid of losing their jobs by offending the left than by offending the right. Defunding the bureaucrats who made that happen is not fascist, though jailing then would be.

@SamaraKlar And be broad enough to apply to many places, even government. I'll have students who apply to 10 jobs get mad when they get 0. I applied to 50 by 11/1, got a good offer, and took it. I had planned to apply to 200. Blue collar life inoculated me against feeling privileged.

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@JonHaidt @PsychRabble So let me propose a debate: anti-racism v. merit systems. Academics used to debate ideas rather than cancelling people. It was fun. I'm doing a sort of debate on CRT at a major social science conference, but it has been tough to get CRT backers to take part.

@davidphardy @P_Diddy_Wolf @ua_edreform Thanks David! You do amazing work!

@yoopermomma @1776Unites @BobWoodson @smithcollege John McWhorter for Secretary of Education!

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@wil_da_beast630 I wish it were so, but no: Obama won two terms.

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@JohnHMcWhorter Yay!

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@Ed_Realist @JonathanLWai @PsychToday Fieldwork and history indicate otherwise. Ed. leaders encourage people like themselves to go into admin, mostly male, disproportionately athletic coaches. See "Boys will be superintendents" in Phi Delta Kappan. Their normal homophily has unfortunate impacts on schools.

[Robert Maranto @MarantoRobert]

@Ed_Realist @JonathanLWai @PsychToday I would suggest reading The Cardinal Principals of Secondary Education and scholarly treatments of them. For cog. psych you have a point---not for ed leadership, those running schools. I've read a lot on the field's history and spent years in fieldwork & on school board.

@JonathanLWai @sbkaufman @gmiller @psychpodcast Thanks Jonathan!😀
