As the video of Candace Owens @RealCandaceO of Turning Point USA talking #Hitler, #nationalism, and #globalism goes viral, many have weighed in with political and historical elements. But there are some rhetorical things to say. So I will say them: 1/
First here is the 1 min clip of her answer to a question about nationalism where she unprovoked brought up Hitler in context of nationalism. 2/
She brings up Hitler and admits that in America when people think nationalism, they think Hitler. Owens would like to erase that link so her brand of nationalism cannot suffer from association with German nationalism that bred Hitler. She calls Hitler a "national-socialist." 3/
Then she says this remarkable statement: "But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine." First, as some have pointed out, Owens links Hitler's nationalism to Trump's through 'make' and 'great.' 4/
Lost thread again.... here is a lot more of it.

A Georgia Senate Committee hearing on Senate Bill 377 - an "educational gag order" bill concerning "divisive concepts" in k-12 and #highered. I'll try to live tweet. You can watch here: 1/X vimeo.com/showcase/90764…
Sen. Bo Hatchett, its sponsor, said he is trying to prevent students being taught "divisive concepts" not US history. He reads and you can read bill here: legis.ga.gov/legislation/61…
By the way, he offers no proof that any of these concepts are being taught, were taught, are part of #CriticalRaceTheory

Up now and prominently displayed is a new Charlie Kirk ⁦@HumanEvents⁩ piece dripping with conspiracy hints. But as usual Kirk only asks (loaded) questions about Covid death rates 1/x humanevents.com/2022/01/21/why…
Kirk’s long used rhetorical strategy appears here: find some news boy and turn it into right-wing talking point. The news here: Indiana insurance giant talking deaths during Covid, originally appeared in @thecentersquare 3 weeks ago: 2/x thecentersquare.com/indiana/indian…
*news bit not boy. @dailykos picked it up a few days later and offered a left wing opinion: There are large areas of the United States under Republican control where COVID-19 deaths and COVID-19-related deaths are openly undercounted. 3/x dailykos.com/story/2022/1/5…

It's time to detail the laughable and sad response from the @BORUSG University System of Georgia to today's news concerning @AAUP report about #tenure. We are rolling toward a censure vote. #highered 1/x
The USG response is a Dec. 3 letter from the system chancellor to the AAUP after the AAUP sent the system a draft of the report that came out today. The report and quotes from the letter are available here 2/x aaup.org/report/academi…
As the report makes clear, the @BORUSG is redefining tenure and academic due process to justify what its oversees the Board of Regents did in gutting tenure. In short, gaslighting. 3/x

For last few years I have had first year students write an end-of-semester reflection on how their definitions of reading and writing have changed due to my course. Not once has a student - AP or not - said what they learned in high school was akin to what I teach. 1/x
Many students said they took an AP or even got credit. But all said that writing was taught to them with a formula or some easy way to follow. I'm not knocking HS teachers. They likely are doing as I do, but often are pressured by exams to force formulas more than freedom. 2/x
My students are a combination of dual enrollment and tier 3 applicants. Also from a state that has end of course HS exams with a writing assessment with an argument emphasis 3/x gadoe.org/Curriculum-Ins…

The death of tenure in Georgia will come next week during meeting of the @BORUSG Board of Regents. Let me walk thru the obfuscation on the issue by the university system leaders. They and the Regents on dead set on ruining the reputation of the state. #highered 1/x
The USG and BOR initially released a revision to due process for its Sept. 9 meeting that called for tenured professors to be fired for "reasons other than cause," wiping away tenure protections in one sentence. 2/x usg.edu/regents/assets…
The USG quickly revised this sentence by removing the causeless clause. They claimed it was "bad" and "unclear" writing. But they also claimed we as faculty were "misconstruing" the text and that the "intent" of these revisions was not to change tenure. 3/x

So my local newspaper gave space to ⁦@Rep_Clyde⁩ to continue his lies about Jan. 6th. When a reporter asked to speak w/ him, his staff pointed instead to this editorial. While he faithfully served in the military, Clyde cowardly avoids questions. gainesvilletimes.com/columnists/gue…
Clyde invokes Reagan’s mantra about not talking about fellow GOPers, saying Liz Cheney was “Impugning Donald Trump’s character.” The cognitive dissonance only gets worse from there. He says the GOP must move forward, while hanging on to Trump. #gapol
Clyde continues by implication the martyrdom of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot by Capitol police as she tried to get through a barricaded door. Clyde, who notes he was behind the House barricade, notes Babbitt as an Air Force veteran but doesn’t say why she was shot. #gapol
