Florida's replacing school counselors with chaplains and the Satanists want in. Remember that seemingly endless discussion in your religious studies class on defining religion? I saw you roll your eyes #ClassificationMatters

So now there’ll be a rush to figure out how to define a US President’s every waking action as an official act. Critical scholars of religion see what’s going on. #classificationmatters
“What does it mean for something to be an insurrection?”—a question that the US Supreme Court may have to answer. Strikes me that the approach to our field that some of us have adopted gets at some of the basic issues involved in social life. #classificationmatters
@burnidge I get the focus on #classificationmatters but I'd love to know what you do with their debate
@McCutcheonSays @CNN Also, for evangelicals or Christian nationalists or whatever we're calling them these days, everything is "religious" so look for continued expansion of their claims to religious freedom exemptions. #ClassificationMatters
“What in business is now not speech?” - question on @CNN just now in response to just announced #SCOTUS decision. Sounds like something an REL student could contribute to. #definition #classificationmatters a lot.
So Camilla is Queen and no longer Queen Consort…? #classificationmatters
@Lady_Historian So here's one idea: I'd introduce them to how #classificationmatters, initially with a non-controversial example. @McCutcheonSays likes to talk about whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables and how that distinction arose in a fight over whether producers had to pay taxes
Literally, since I was a child, I wondered why dandelions are "weeds." @McCutcheonSays #ClassificationMatters
1/12 - EVER WONDERED WHY DANDELIONS ARE HATED SO MUCH?
They’re considered “weeds” because they were a poor person resource and not having them was a status symbol. It starts in Europe...👇🧵
A student trained in the motives & effects of classification systems is well equipped to help us make sense of how culture works. #classificationmatters
@joeblankholm @LeisDuch @profsamperry @wgervais First step to dismantling it is seeing it. It's why I love @McCutcheonSays's work with #ClassificationMatters. It's key to how I approach the study of religion because religious systems are first and foremost classification systems that are very effective at hiding their work
"Religious" or "historical heritage". Another example of common dispute. #classificationmatters https://t.co/SQJxZRrk8c
It’s a calling if you happen to work at Yale, I guess. And they’re trainees until you have to hire someone to do their job in your lab. #classificationmatters
Graduate students are primarily students and trainees, not ordinary workers. Academia is a calling. I suspect unionization will tip the balance so faculty prefer, at the margin, to hire post-docs to do research in their labs rather than students. https://t.co/4KXYiyYeAP
@ruggledome @dianabutlerbass @sarahposner That's one problem with the protective strategy of unexamined definitions where some Christians try to insulate Christianity from their problematic brethren. It results in people talking past each other. I guess in some instances that's a feature not a bug #ClassificationMatters
In the Pew Religious Landscape Study, Native American religions are grouped under...New Age? #amrel #acrel #classificationmatters
"the judge would have to consider whether the murder was motivated by a political, religious or ideological purpose". #classificationmatters
Toronto incel attack: “The question of whether the facts of this case legally constitute terrorist activity remains before the judge, who would have to consider whether the murder was motivated by a political, religious or ideological purpose…“ https://t.co/LnNJhS7Mn0
Additionally, I keep trying to make people see that when you set up exemptions like this and you have groups that claim that "all of life" is "religious," you will have groups that think almost no laws should apply to them. #ClassificationMatters #Theocracy
A Texas judge ruled in favor of a company that said the HIV drug mandate violates its religious freedom because it encourages "homosexual behavior". Fundamentalist Christians are the cruelest people in America.
Following the Dr. Oz crudités campaign ad…? See the incumbent’s response? #classificationmatters
I talked about this case and its relevance for religious studies in an episode of the @ProjectRS podcast last year. The decision in favor of Ramirez is hugely significant for legal/public definitions of religion. #classificationmatters #acrel
BREAKING: Supreme Court rules 8-1 in favor of death row inmate seeking vocal prayers and physical touch from a spiritual adviser in the execution chamber
