@ijbailey That seems like a racialization of an individual's reaction. Do you imagine it's a reaction characteristic of and unique to white women generally? I suspect I could find lots of evidence to the contrary. — PolitiTweet.org

@cobra0483 @kmele Isn't there explicitly a power struggle about the future of the school? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey There is pressure to conform in this case. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey What do you think she means by "white women's tears"? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Yes, censoriousness and pressure to conform to group think is very old. They put Socrates to death! We should resist it, especially when it manifests in educational settings. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey It is true of Robin DiAngelo's antiracism, but not of mine and yours. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey That doesn't make its manifestation here any less troubling to me. — PolitiTweet.org

The way to do this is to stand against it on the grounds that it entrenches the same categories that MAGA entrenched by rallying around a candidate who judged and denigrated people on the basis of their race and ethnicity. — PolitiTweet.org

IMHO, this quote elides critiques like @kmele's: that race itself is a system of oppression, and rather than abolishing it, these programs are reinforcing it. https://t.co/D8nyltMTOu — PolitiTweet.org

"Several dozen faculty members declined interviews; in the end six spoke only on the condition of anonymity, for fear of upsetting employers. A dozen parents at five schools agreed to interviews, only one on the record." — PolitiTweet.org

βIβm so exhausted with being reduced to my race,β a girl said. βThe first step of antiracism is to racialize every single dimension of my identity.β Another girl added: βFighting indoctrination with indoctrination can be dangerous.β https://t.co/K64CqfLv6B — PolitiTweet.org

Rival factions in Afghanistan are 1) murdering crowds with suicide bombs 2) forcibly preventing terrified dissidents from fleeing the country. These tragic and heart-rending events are reminders that for all the complaints one hears about liberal democracies, we are very lucky. — PolitiTweet.org

I'd hoped by 2021 we'd be entirely past the point where whether someone was an acceptable target for jokes hinged on their racial identity — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the link to preorder the book I raved about earlier. It was excellent to discover my bygone admonition to always read @katrosenfield applies to fiction, too. https://t.co/yZXIWQGAKs — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I got an advance copy of this and couldn't put it down. I highly recommend a preorder if you're up for a thriller--a genre I only enjoy when it *really delivers*--or want an excellent holiday gift on hand for anyone who likes fiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Again: both overpolicing and underpolicing can create oppressive conditions. Example: https://t.co/eWW27sRbQW — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom @mlowry @gmunny33 That example is radically different from someone who earnestly but mistakenly believes that a given medicine is going to help them avoid a deadly disease and seeks it out for that reason. — PolitiTweet.org

To murder people so terrified of a new government that they're rushing to the airport in hopes of fleeing their home--that is evil. — PolitiTweet.org

@mlowry @RadioFreeTom @gmunny33 I dispute the notion that having a false belief demonstrates arrogance as well as the notion that we should refrain from extending compassion to the arrogant. — PolitiTweet.org

@R3dacted I did not say that they are analogous. Read the Tweet above the one with which I disagreed again. — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa Are there directions the mind takes, as distinct from actions, that you want free societies to outlaw? Or if you're not talking about thought crimes what do you mean? — PolitiTweet.org
