@joe_rigney Very well played

To keep a republic requires more than institutions. It requires citizens united by a common devotion to liberty, civic virtue, and the common good.

A beautiful symbol of that unity and shared inheritance is the American flag.

@passcoderonald He’s thinking, standing there in front of the Delcaration: “All men are created equal, but then they make themselves unequal by how hard they train.“

Today is Flag Day!
The current design of Florida's state flag was adopted in 1900. Because when furled, the flag lacked color, the 1899 Legislature voted to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot to update the flag. Florida voters approved the change adding the diagonal red bars. See all of Florida’s State Flags here: https://t.co/45w9qthM7l

A study of compliance w/ anti-DEI laws by @insidehighered shows a complete lack of awareness about the nature of law & litigation risk practices.

These passages from the article describe the exact same atmosphere that existed under DEI 🧵 @realchrisfrufo https://t.co/wBO4Xxjsrb

[Clifford Humphrey ⚓ @cphumphrey]

Laws always point to a larger morality, & legal counsel at institutions will always seek to minimize litigation risk. Further, vulnerable faculty will always seek to signal over-compliance.

How "suppressive" the compliance may be isn't the question; "Is the law just?" is.

Thought-provoking article by @WDeresiewicz @chronicle.

"Under the research model, faculty are incentivized to do a single thing only: create knowledge. Publish or perish. When good teaching happens, it's by accident, & often at a cost to one’s career."

So true.

The University of California needs the SAT back. Even the overwhelmingly liberal Berkeley faculty are fed up with the admission of unprepared students, write Svetlana Jitomirskaya and Zvezdelina Stankova
