@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser Put differently it is false, deliberately inflammatory, and leads others to falsely believe they are being disrespected at someone else's expense. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser He is saying it because he has a long considered view, shared by the man who literally wrote the book on the subject, that it best prepares students. The implication that he takes personal satisfaction in saying it is a demagogic lie. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser I find that post dishonest in an annoying way ("desperately wants to say") — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@wil_da_beast630 The idea that an unvaxxed person poses a much greater threat to you at this point is just wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser It seems to me that begging the contested question of whether it is more or less respectful to one's audience is part of what's making some audiences feel less respected by teachers who use the whole word intending to respect their students. — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinh8swriting @and_furiouser You should read the academic paper by Kennedy and Volokh spelling it out at length — PolitiTweet.org

@collblick @whiskeynachos Script: "Have you ever attended college?" (If no) "What brand of automobile do you sell and how many sales people do you employ?" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@collblick @whiskeynachos I just love the idea of polling 1,000 randomly selected "no college" Americans and anticipating that even like 50 of them would be *car dealership owners*. — PolitiTweet.org

@birblawl I don't think that is the only form of support offered. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@and_furiouser Oh okay I thought that but wasn't totally sure. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@and_furiouser I don't follow. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@and_furiouser If mentioning though not using it will result in punishment by administrators, as in the case that prompted my Tweet, that should be clear. Or if not, that should be clear. At many institutions the rule is not in fact clear. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @Jd196560Davis there are times in pedagogy where mentioning it is (I would say) highly defensible (he would say definitively the right call). I also worry the erasure of a use-mention distinction is giving the word more power in a way that benefits racists and hurts targets of slur uses. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @Jd196560Davis It's certainly the word I want to say least, and when it comes to *using* it as opposed to *mentioning* it, there is no other word I am more invested or equally invested in maintaining a taboo around. Wrt mentions, I'd rather not mention it myself but also agree with Kennedy that — PolitiTweet.org

@Steve56666007 @RickDwyer6 I for one would settle for Republicans being consistent and declining to support him in the future. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Jd196560Davis @ijbailey I don't understand what you think I am being vague about? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Jd196560Davis @ijbailey the utterance of a word that is not but sounds like the word was treated as verboten by some administrators. Are there other words like that I am missing? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Jd196560Davis @ijbailey I asked you before what other words you would ban, and now I am asking you what other words are treated similarly, and it seems like you keep evading my questions, aimed at clarifying where we disagree. I know of no word treated equivalently, e.g. the USC case where — PolitiTweet.org

@tewhalen Well, "pay in" programs like Social Security don't necessarily redistribute depending on the mix of contributions and payouts, and lots of things clearly flow from rich to poor people, so not quite that. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Jd196560Davis @ijbailey What are the other words that trigger punishment when a professor quotes them while reading from an assigned text? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tewhalen "Don't redistribute regressively." — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Jd196560Davis @ijbailey I agree--right now, universities work by meeting out punishments in ad hoc fashion for poorly defined transgressions that leave everyone unclear on what is and isn't allowed and invites arbitrary outcomes. That's what I want to change. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tslatts10 So to be clear we're talking about someone whose take-home pay is higher than the median even after loan payments, yes? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@KenGoldsholl The number of Black people killed by police has not spiked, and police killings are a tiny percentage of overall killings. The increase in killings by people other than cops is responsible for the entire rise in killings. I can tell you're unfamiliar with the numbers. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@KenGoldsholl No, it isn't "coming from cops." — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
It's hard for me to understand why one wouldn't favor at least means-testing. Doesn't cancelling the debt of poor people make much more sense, morally and economically, than cancelling the debt of rich people? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
We can debate whether *more cops* is a good or bad policy solution. (It's a complicated debate.) But support for that position is rooted in murders spiking, disproportionately harming Black people, not due to "white supremacy" becoming more popular post George Floyd. — PolitiTweet.org
