@Avonleebythesea@electionsjoe 2) there are myriad forums at campuses to express opinions freely. Assignments and courses have specific criteria. If they didn’t do the assignment (in this case we need the rubric and assignment sheet too) that’s a 0. This isn’t brave. It’s lazy at best, hate speech at worse
@Avonleebythesea @electionsjoe 1) If a student had categorized an entire marginalized group as “demonic” (let’s replace “trans” w/ “African-Americans” or “Jews” or whatever you’d like) I’d likely be having a direct conversation w/ the student and probably contacting people higher up in my dept to address this
@unlearn16tweet I love that you have a poster for the movie “The Thin Man”. It and the second one are two of my favorite movies and where I got my screen name from (a misspelling of the dog, Asta)
@maddenifico I had a Mexican student sieg heil today in class. Last week I had a white student call a black student a monkey. I can’t even count the # of homophobic slurs i heard. It’s horrifying. Truly, deeply horrifying
@unlearn16tweet As an American, I’m sickened and disgusted with last week. As a teacher I feel your pain. I can’t talk about it in a classroom though sadly. That’s how much things have changed since 2016. I’m going to do my best to stand with women and my fellow queer people
