@esanzi I went to Catholic school, and definitely was diagraming sentences in seventh and eighth grades, but I couldn't tell you before that. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm trying to recall at what age I was taught nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc? This school has the book "They, She, He - Easy as ABC" in the curriculum for first graders. It introduces 26 kids and the pronounces each uses. https://t.co/uDgHG72rlS — PolitiTweet.org

@astrojuanchi But if your dad loves you and cares for you... but also gets drunk sometimes and hits you... he's still your family, but also that's bad and needs to stop, not because he's not your family, rather because your family is abusing you. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
This is a message I really want sent to kids. My one reservation: what about kids in (say) physically or emotionally abusive situations, whose home-life and family aren't wonderful? Sadly, some families aren't "just what they are meant to be." Does that matter here? I'm not sure. https://t.co/wcVF8ka3YU — PolitiTweet.org

This is me applying my deep reading of literature on authoritarianism to kids, not me sketching what I know of anti-bullying pedagogy. What I'd love to know is if there are arguments among people who develop anti-bullying pedagogy between these two approaches? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
The counter would be that some people are uncomfortable with difference as a matter of innate psychology, and that anti-bullying efforts will be more effective if you highlight the ways everyone is the same rather than implicitly casting some as "others" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Put another way, one approach emphasizes difference while the other emphasizes sameness. Diversity-loving people--probably most of you reading this tweet--tend to gravitate toward approach 1 because they *like* difference and want to teach kids to like it too. Maybe that's best. — PolitiTweet.org

1. X is different and that's wonderful! Celebrate how unique they are! Speak up if anyone bullies them! 2. X is a valuable person with feelings just like you and me! That doesn't change just because they play/look/dress different! Speak up if anyone bullies them! — PolitiTweet.org

Today I've reached the anti-bullying phase of an early childhood education curriculum and I'm struck by a choice that it makes and curious about how that came to be. Consider two possible approaches to anti-bullying: — PolitiTweet.org

Educators: we have ideas about how to better educate children that we'd like to implement among parents who believe our ideas would be best for their kids and voluntarily choose us. The state: no, conform to the existing bureaucracy no matter how many kids it is failing. — PolitiTweet.org

@decibellum @ACLU Why? Women are in fact the population that is most disproportionately affected, while gay men are perhaps the least affected. — PolitiTweet.org

@rivenburgh1 My implicit meaning was *you're applying oppression ideology so mindlessly and with so little rigor that you're making no sense. Stop it. We need principled, reality-based civil liberties advocacy, not intersectionality mad-libs.* — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@decibellum @ACLU In fact, as a full service provider of Tweets, I will rephrase things in your preferred ideological nomenclature: "When you make a list of who is hit hardest by abortion bans and gays make the list but people with uteruses don't." Happy? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@decibellum @ACLU (To expand on it a bit: rich white women are much more affected by abortion bans than gay men. Yes?) — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@decibellum @ACLU That isn't the point I'm making or the argument I'm picking. Rather, my point is that the LGBTQ community is not disproportionately affected by abortion bans. The ACLU is just mindlessly applying oppression ideology. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rivenburgh1 I don't know that I can grasp the explicit or implicit logic of a Tweet that characterizes the the LGBTQ community as being disproportionately affected by abortion bans, but if you have a theory I'm happy to hear it. — PolitiTweet.org
