Wed, 14:33: 2) I talk about the ADA and disability services as part of the solution. Quite a few people said - they are too bureaucratic and difficult.
Wed, 14:34: 3) I say - Ok, so let's fix that, rather than creating a new policy, or even an unofficial expectation. Solve the solvable problem.

Thu, 02:03: 1. Dear Chester Finn - get in the classroom before you opine on what happens there. 2. "schizy" is a disability slur. http://t.co/DIJWEPAoiP
Thu, 02:04: Twitter rant: 1) There's an article in Political Mag just dripping with scorn at the students who are asking for trigger warnings.
Thu, 02:05: 2) It's from Charles Finn, a Senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
Thu, 02:05: 3) I wonder when the last time he taught even a 2/2 load? When is the last time he dealt with non-elite students, if ever?
Thu, 02:06: 4) And yet he dares to attack students for advocating for a better classroom environment for survivors and trauma victims.
Thu, 02:06: 5) I am opposed to trigger warning policies. But I deeply respect the students who are pushing us to think about the issue.
Thu, 02:07: 6) Finally, he uses "schizy" to describe the objects of his scorn. I judge this akin to all other disability slurs: retard, crip, mong, etc.

Thu, 02:07: Alright, I'm done. Instant rage monkey here at this condescending column.
Thu, 02:11: Chester Finn. Not charles finn as I said in rant #2. According to his bio, "[he] has devoted his career to improving education."
Thu, 02:12: You do not improve education by treating students with scorn. You talk & listen. That doesn't mean do what they want! Start with respect.
