@ijbailey @rasmansa @NAChristakis "Settled question" may seem ambiguous, but when I use it, I mean *really, really settled.* I literally chose genocide, the very worst thing, as my example. One classroom of students obviously can't be the standard for settled. If multiple tenured profs disagree it's not settled. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @rasmansa @NAChristakis Sure, I think *genocide is wrong* is a settled question, whereas *professors shouldn't quote the n-word* is not a settled question. Randall Kennedy, Eugene Volokh, Wendy Kaminer, and John McWhorter all disagree. Can you name four pro-genocide academics off the top of your head? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @rasmansa @NAChristakis Because academic freedom protects the rights of professors to disagree about what is "unnecessary" and effects on concentration pedagogical value. You can't beg those questions. They're the core of the matter at hand. — PolitiTweet.org
