Guns at schools. Analysis from @k12ssdb: “As many schools add metal detectors and interior fortifications, 49% of the last 300 shootings at school have taken place in the parking lot or in front of the school building. “ Now what?

A terrific story by my ⁦@UMN_HSJMC⁩ community Jour students: Not here, but all around here: Queer UMN students express anxiety over anti-LGBTQ+ laws – AccessU: Queer on Campus https://t.co/QiAcE9CCj3

[G.G. (GayleGolden) @ggwriter]

Great work by my ⁦@UMN_HSJMC⁩ students covering the LGBTQ+ community on the UMN Twin Cities campus via ⁦@accessu_qoc⁩ https://t.co/qnFknuWRzy

This is what can happen when you don’t give up on a feature story despite roadblocks that cause you to bust a couple of deadlines in my magazine writing class. Nice work @James_Schaak

[G.G. (GayleGolden) @ggwriter]

@James_Schaak Very very cool.

[G.G. (GayleGolden) @ggwriter]

@_cingraham A trigger warning is really a gesture of respect, allowing students to prepare for challenging material. The prof must defend its value. The students can question it or leave. Forbidding discussion of material that calls for this exchange? It silences all. It's not education.

[G.G. (GayleGolden) @ggwriter]

Omid Safi, Duke U prof of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in @nytimes: Students “don’t have to give up their values. But some part of the educational process does call for stepping beyond each one of our vantage points enough to know that none of us have the monopoly on truth.”

For context and commentary on the dismissal of the Hamline instructor on baseless charges of "Islamophobia," read the two pieces that broke the story:
