@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore Ah. Yes, I do know children, and it seems clear to me that before a certain age they can't understand some concepts. I have explained what sour is to a 2 year old. I would struggle to explain PTSD or the Overton Window or the Blockchain to a 2 year old. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore No, you saw others misrepresenting what I was doing and took issue with that. I am always glad to hear your engagement and disagreement and value your perspective, but you are mischaracterizing what I was doing here. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore I don't see it? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore How does that square with your assumptions? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore Here is an article I wrote objecting to Ron DeSantis' treatment of this issue in Florida https://t.co/gwjErw6CcF — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore Melanie, I asked a question of my progressive followers on a subject I'm reporting on, knowing my followers are overwhelmingly social liberals who are broadly supportive of LGBTQ rights. You are just flat wrong about my motivations. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore No, I asked a question of progressives to better understand their view, and if you look back at the tweets before that you'll see me asking questions of social conservatives to understand their view. (I am a socially liberal libertarian, which you seem not to get.) — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore It *is* what I opened with: a statement that I didn't think kids could grasp nonbinary at 4, and a question if others agreed or disagreed. I am a bit less sure now of what 4 year olds can understand and still think it should be taught at the age of understanding — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore If pre-k kids can in fact understand it, which I'm not sure about. What age do you think kids can understand it? I assume not 1. So 2? 3? 4? 5? What's your answer? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore I am happy to engage with any question you ask and I have been engaging with as many people as I can, which has been difficult amid attacks based on lies that some are spreading. What would you like to know? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore I don't object to teaching kids about the concept of non-binary. At whatever age kids can comprehend things I think they should be told about them in a truthful and factual way. If that's 6 for nonbinary I'm for doing it at 6. Same if it's 4 or 10. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore It is not only not obvious, it is untrue. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore It is not bigotry to think 4 year olds may be too young to understand a concept. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore What are you talking about? Are you saying 4 year olds are not in pre-k? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@KenGoodrich I noticed that too — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GeoffreyDeWeese I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore Then go to the "learning plan" section, read the teacher prompts, and verify that untruths are being spread against me and I am being scolded merely for trying to correct them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore Click on "lesson plan" under day one — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@nbrink77 @MelanieMoore The lesson plan that other person screenshotted is from kindergarten. The one I quoted was from preschool. https://t.co/NUgkAivkyl Go to the preschool curriculum there and you will find it — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore Like, *you* asked *me* why I am continuing to misrepresent something. This is me answering *I'm not, here's the proof* and you're acting like that's "coming after you" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore I'm not "coming after you." I'm telling you that you are factually wrong, and that you can verify that fact on a public website. Why wouldn't you check instead of continuing to falsely suggest I am misrepresenting anyone's age? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore Without delving into the details, you are accepting the false characterizations of people misrepresenting me as if they are the truth. You could verify my claims about this being in the pre-k curriculum if you care to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore As for bigotries, I harbor no bigotry toward anyone, and want school curriculum to be inclusive of everyone, including everyone in the LGBTQ plus community. None of that is at odds with wondering if 4 is too young to grasp a complicated concept. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore Instead, you erroneously assumed I was lying and Brooke was telling the truth, when in fact, she is mistaken. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore I am not misrepresenting the ages. I posted material from the pre-k curriculum. Brooke falsely claimed that I was in fact quoting from the kindergarten curriculum. You can check the pre-k curriculum if you wish, as the material is online. You haven't checked, however. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@oneunderscore__ No, I got it from the original source, which I have reported on, at length, in previous articles. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelanieMoore What lie do you think I'm using? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@edcu @CostcoTote I am going to block you if you falsely claim that I argue in bad faith again. Last warning. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ThisIsEricsTrip @PNWSelina @brooklynmarie Gotcha, my mistake, thanks. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@oneunderscore__ The screenshot is from the lesson plans that a public school district in Evanston, Illinois posted online and shared with parents. I am certain my question was not derived from a moral panic. — PolitiTweet.org
