The purpose of teaching is to deliver that correct knowledge to students while showing them how much remains unknown and contested. Why would we do research if we weren't supposed to communicate what is true to others? Oh yeah - this is why they want to end humanities & social science research.

I find this claim, which is now common in right-wing ed discourse, really astonishing. It rests at the core of the post-truth vision of "viewpoint diversity": we should not teach the conclusions that research shows to be correct; rather, we should validate empirically discredited ideas just because.

Fostering this civic orientation does not mean teaching students the “right” way to think or act
according to a preferred political or moral perspective. A transformative education is premised
on developing sound judgment, not on delivering correct conclusions.

This is the crux of the issue. It’s not just enough to “vote harder”; the Democratic Party leadership has to fix their hearts.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
