@ijbailey Perfect, you're all prepped. If there's a video send it to me. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffreyASachs @ijbailey @jduffyrice I'm happy to have this data point and also so confused about how to square it with, eg (from The Economist) https://t.co/KQf4MLjURH — PolitiTweet.org

@jduffyrice @JessPish Her claim was that I ignored a factor that explained what I wrote about in Evanston. What evidence from Evanston do you think I'm dismissing or ignoring? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @jduffyrice I'm trying to find a link to the questions on that USA Today poll, which I hadn't seen and thank you for sending. Do you see one? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey I haven't, sounds like something I'd agree to in a Twitter convo but honestly it slipped my mind. Would you like to do a q and a about why you support diversity initiatives? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice I do think some of what's being taught in the name of DEI is opposed by Black parents because it weirdly embraces stereotypes that attribute middle class values to white culture in a very Racecraft-like way — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice That is, I think HLG is 100 percent correct here https://t.co/Z3K4qAjvEA But I don't think that debate about real CRT maps onto the current debate about what's taught by progressive educators — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice To back up a bit, this thread began with an article I wrote where CRT is not mentioned once. As for what CRT requires, that's more complicated. For example, I do think CRT parts from liberal free speech values. Citation coming in next tweet: — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@NewLiberalsPod I'm afraid to ask. Is "They even have swords" a metaphor or literal? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JessPish @jduffyrice Yes, I am expert in what the specific people I interviewed believe. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice People aren't arguing about Richard Delgado or Matsuda or Bell being taught in schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice Yes I know. Note the careful language I used above "That's not to say there's no racist opposition to what people shorthand as CRT. There's some racist opposition to most things. But it's not the core of the controversy." — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice showing up on time is white supremacy culture or that (insert the dumbest stuff Robin DiAngelo says). The smartest CRT insights are great. Also, the Henry Louis Gates critique was correct. Also, few people are even talking about that when they say CRT now. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@jduffyrice The public understanding of CRT and "learning about systemic racism" are not synonymous. My impression is that a majority of Black parents do want their kids taught about systemic racism, but don't want them taught to reject liberal or middle class values or that — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe it was the meth addicts shouting obscenities at female runners, or the homeless man who defecated on my front step, or the garage break-ins, or the window-smash car break-ins, or watching the LAPD shoot a mentally ill man, but street vendors never bothered me. Priorities! — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ragepath @JessPish I'd love to but pandemic plus faraway city made interviewing elementary school students hugely challenging. Most people don't want their kids talking to a stranger online let alone a journalist. In my local journalism days I had more such opportunities and found them valuable. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@george09620890 @jduffyrice I'm happy to explain why I believe what I do, to search for more evidence, and to adjust my positions if I'm wrong, but I'm gonna need a specific proposition to discuss — PolitiTweet.org
