What “distressing” ideas? How are they “cocooned”? It’s amazing how much publicity one can get by reinforcing cliches that accord so little with the experiences of so many of us who actually teach college students.

Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist and author, has been on the front lines of campus battles over free speech for more than a decade, warning that the American education system has poorly served a generation of young people by cocooning them from ideas they might find distressing.

This Court, and the right more generally, is not merely undermining democracy. They are targeting multiracial democracy. That has always been the dividing line. And as Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt argue, it is multiracial democracy or no democracy at all.

I think a lot about how narratives of patriotism in U.S. politics depend on an ahistoricity that suggests harsh critiques of the nations leaders, its values, and policies, and relentless loud demands from advocates and activists for change, are some newfangled product of a contemporary era.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.
