@hoomhum What are you talking about? I don't see Walter making that leap anywhere? — PolitiTweet.org

@knowerofsecrets I agree that homophobia still exists in the world. I disagree with your reductive characterization of free speech debates as upset that people can't use homophobic slurs. Many people who are thrilled homophobic slurs are beyond the pale also think free speech is under attack — PolitiTweet.org

Thread. A rigorous, particularized assessment of the content of these curriculums is the best way forward for public discourse. And yes, a more viewpoint neutral or diverse approach is absolutely possible — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@knowerofsecrets I disagree. I think there is broad agreement that hurling demeaning slurs at others because of their race or sexual orientation is beyond the pale. — PolitiTweet.org

@Thecafesinister It certainly suggests the perspective is not intended to run cover for anyone, needlessly hostile stranger — PolitiTweet.org

@Thecafesinister That is a column by a progressive New York Times columnist, not my words. — PolitiTweet.org

@wesyang Same. I was just struck the other day that none had crossed my media feeds and I haven't sought them out, even though I've been reading a lot about Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

@CuriousAudioUS @wienerdogprod I am against the new right, not for it. Please stop being an illiterate pest. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@CuriousAudioUS @wienerdogprod Was Osama Bin Laden responsible for 9/11? Were bygone U.S. foreign policy actions factors that led to 9/11? See how both things can be true? — PolitiTweet.org

@wienerdogprod @DavidAFrench If you think Michelle Goldberg believes the left is worse you need to learn how to read before engaging further — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey @wienerdogprod No one said otherwise. The claim being made is different in an important respect that you seem unable to grasp. I'm not sure how to get you there. Maybe Michelle can when she wakes up. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @wienerdogprod No, that is not what they are all about. — PolitiTweet.org

@wienerdogprod Of course they are responsible for their own actions. Nothing about Goldberg's formulation says otherwise. Just because something influences how someone acts doesn't render them not responsible for their actions. — PolitiTweet.org

If Beverly Hills wants to stop crime they don't need more surveillance cameras. They need to partner some of their stuffy cops with a rebellious detective visiting from Detroit. https://t.co/UzqgcjENMD — PolitiTweet.org

Michelle Goldberg: "This vibe shift was predictable; when the left becomes grimly censorious, it incubates its own opposition." https://t.co/7NwaEphxYo — PolitiTweet.org

@govt_mule And if you are outnumbered I. The democratic process and lose? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@govt_mule There are places with charters and vouchers as well as private schools. Where are the white supremacy, antisemitism, and flat earth schools? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@govt_mule The false binary you constructed involved the idea that a significant enough faction for a whole school wants to teach that "racism doesn’t exist or the Holocaust wasn’t so bad," positions that have no significant constituency — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@govt_mule What a bizarre false binary you've constructed! — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JTinTexs Yep we should change that — PolitiTweet.org

@vituperativeerb What do you mean "the point of the exercise"? Do you doubt that social conservatives in fact exist? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Another critique of this passage: how does one square it with the popularity of covering (for example) the "defund" and the "abolish" the police movements at so many prestigious media institutions? — PolitiTweet.org

@RhetoricLReince You could start one that did. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

I'd like to know how we're defining corporate media here. Conceivably, NPR, The Daily Wire, Substack, Jacobin, Breitbart, PBS, City Journal, Think Progress, Fox News, The Epoch Times and the New York Times are all corporate media. But that's not what you mean... So who counts? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@RhetoricLReince ? I don't know what that means — PolitiTweet.org
