@IsasV Oh Shepherd's a clown and I'm convinced she's always been alt-right, not free-speech. The media handled that horribly, of course. They give way too much air time to ignoramuses. Any sensible academic could have easily explained why she fucked up in her TA job.Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV (If you're teaching grammar, then no, sharing debates over alternate pronouns is NOT anywhere near within your job description. You teach standards in academic writing, note what's in transition, maybe note that this is contested, but you don't present it as a political debate.)Permalink On twitter.com

@IsasV The free-speech thing is just a popular alt-right grift: "Universities have standards that mandate we treat minorities with respect. They can fire us for flouting them. We can't win that fight, so... let's make it a free speech issue! Yeah, it's about suppressing free speech!"On twitter.com

@IsasV Which... you can tell by the way they use the term "free speech" instead of "freedom of expression" that it's all a media stunt aimed at generating buzz among Americans. The whole parlance of the grift (like the parlance of the alt-right) is essentially in American terms.Permalink On twitter.com
