The billionaire tax could be defeated by two other tax measures. Here’s how
Propositions 41 and 42 are counter measures that would kill Prop. 40 even if it passes. Polls show voters support all three.
![So just to connect the dots, the matter of binary sex - to you, that is as done with, or over with, as Japanese internment or eugenics?

You need to read their syllabi. So there's a lot of caricaturing of academia, and I feel like this report is just — they're just using those caricatures and cherry-picking whatever they can find that seems good, that seems right, without truly engaging a whole history of a discipline, like English or anthropology.
In the AAA's response to the Vanderbilt report, you wrote that anthropology contains "vigorous and ongoing debates about theory, evidence, ethics, method, public engagement, and the future of the discipline itself." Is there any contradiction between those stated values and the cancellation of the panel in 2023?
Rigorous debate with factual information, or rigorous debate with just people who like to troll people on social media? I think one of the people in [the panel] is big on right-wing soc…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vn3uvfefltdnpomgnpsjmigw/bafkreihtool5bf5k6ksqmmcqhshhvuc5tkwyvlk7gyxqa5xkwjzk2xz7ky)
