@ijbailey @TanaGaneva The sentence is "Just as in China under Chairman Mao, the seeds of our own cultural revolution can be traced to the academy..." That's not a claim that our cultural revolution is as alarming as Mao's. It is a different claim. — PolitiTweet.org

@TanaGaneva @ijbailey I mean... I think that is a rather significant cultural shift, too! — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey If you look at the rest of the sentence, it was in fact asserting a specific real similarity--that in both cases, a cultural revolution began in academia and then took hold in the broader culture. If you stop cutting off the sentence and quote it in full that will be evident. — PolitiTweet.org
