There's a housing analog to this. *Oh yeah well they built that apartment complex and rents didn't come down.* Okay but *lots more people got a place to live* even if the extra housing wasn't enough units to drive down overall market costs. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @ASFried It's possible that the students are caught between a teacher who believes being privileged doesn't mean you did something bad and a peer group who treats having privilege as something bad. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey If she does the same thing to students who quickly say "I have white privilege" then I agree with you. If she thinks "white privilege" is a stronger answer than the "weak ass" "smart privilege" then I disagree with you. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey question where everyone knows the "right" answers are "I have white privilege" or "I have male privilege," answers that require no critical thinking to echo. But in fairness there's a gap between how she portrayed the lesson and how it might actually have gone. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey You're right that she pushed all students. I was partly out off by the "smart privilege is a weak ass answer" part and partly just my general sense that "privilege" has become a buzzword, and that it would be better to talk about the underlying concepts than to ask a — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @webdevMason She does seem to have an agenda. Why is "I have smart privilege" a "weak ass answer"? Smart privilege is hugely consequential and interrogated much less than racial privilege. But to get the latter is a stronger answer. Why? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey While I think we agree that there is value in prompting young people to think through the unearned advantages they enjoy, I see this teacher and lesson as likelier to elicit the unthinking repetition of jargon than to encourage critical thinking. — PolitiTweet.org

Another way: have officials who refrain from blatant lies about stolen elections, and barring that, allies of politicians who have the integrity and patriotism to denounce lying leaders instead of pandering to them or going silent or tsk tsking only to keep supporting them — PolitiTweet.org

One important way to build public confidence in elections is to have votes counted accurately within hours— not days or weeks.
