@lara_putnam Here's the end of the Daily Wire story blaming trans-inclusive bathroom policy for a sexual assault at a Virginia high school:

@mattyglesias I think it would be more useful to know what changes to school equity programming actually are! There's a very open empirical question about what's happening outside of the most elite private schools. I read about risible DEI stuff but haven't encountered it at our public school.

@AlecMacGillis I would never compare it to Tuchman, but Mike Duncan's incredibly readable biography of the Marquis de Lafayette covers quite a bit of 4. And even though I read them a long time ago I remember learning a lot from Peter Gay's two books on The Enlightenment.

@HPluckrose @ItsAndyRyan @NewEricHoffer @coldtakehaver @NAChristakis @dadsof3 @jonathanchait @thomaschattwill To be clear, and maybe I wasn't, the finding isn't about firings. (If 400 academics had been fired for their views it would be outrageous!) It was all kinds of "targeting" -- petitions, protests, demands for apologies, etc.

@S___Elliott @SoOppressed Why wouldn't I respond? In the real life incident -- not a tenured professor, obviously -- the students are furious and demand his reinstatement!

@thomaschattwill @jonathanchait Sure. And I don't think it's nothing. I just think it's a generational struggle akin to the one between Dissent era socialists and the new left, not The Terror.

1. Some thoughts on this insightful piece from @michelleinbklyn: https://t.co/IG8PwBSQKL

I think this plays out both individually and collectively, since generations acquire an identity precisely when they're young and new and hip, and the olds are trying understand them.

@katzish To be clear, I include myself in this!

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

@yeselson Thank you!

@winterjessica 😱

@lucindaros I don't know, I'm constantly talking to people about how much they dislike it!

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

@DamonLinker @powellnyt @jswatz Thank you! I agree about the institutional capitulation.

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

@lucindaros Adam Gurri gets at this in his essay, but I think the climate of intolerance, which I agree is real, is a function of the Internet more than the left per se

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

@powellnyt @jswatz It's fine!

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

@powellnyt @jswatz But I think they are troubling and illiberal and say so all the time! I'm trying to understand the compulsion to compare them to times of terrible historical repression.
