@tamler 1. Ok. Now I am worried about you. The issue is not whether critical race theory has “taken over” universities, but that it has made substantial inroads. I hope you are not denying that. As a concerned stepmother, I have a few questions to help me gauge your grip on reality.
@tamler 2. The following article by Black feminist & intersectional scholar Barbara Johnson strikes me as a reckless, question-begging screed. (Also batshit crazy—but let that go, dear.) Would you agree?

@tamler 3. Whatever you want to call Johnson’s worldview-critical race theory, radical identitarianism, neo-fuckwitery— ideas like hers are increasingly common. Aren’t you worried that 300 Princeton faculty signed this unhinged letter?

@tamler 4. Do you find this letter from a Princeton math professor reasonable and sound?

@tamler 5. Does it worry you that the faculty didn’t rise up and defend this poor guy?

@tamler 6. If you answered “no” to any of these questions—I’m staging an intervention for you and @peez by (sorry, I know this is harsh)— these guys: @fourbeerspod 😬 itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZS…
@tamler Correct answer is yes.
