People are trying to get me fired for this tweet. I encourage everyone to look at how the legislature defines critical race theory in HB 377, then explain how my ideas or behavior in the classroom align with any of what is forbidden under the law. legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/upl… The HB 377 doesn't ban the teaching of CRT. What it does is set up a straw man version of CRT. And of course I don't do any of the things that caricature of CRT includes.

Here's the deal with Boise State: There's one guy who has these horrifying ideas about women and wants to limit our opportunities. But there are HUNDREDS of faculty and staff pushing in the opposite direction. By attending workshops, engaging in other relevant opportunities, and reflecting on our learning, Boise State employees can earn the BUILD certificate (BUILD = Boise State Uniting for Inclusion and Leadership in Diversity).

Also, has anyone read Yenor's latest book? He has an extended section in it in which he argues that affirmative consent in sex is a bad idea and that heavy petting and foreplay pretty much forfeit a woman's right to refuse penetration. Instead of sharing and interpreting actual, real-world rape charges and listening to the experiences of rape victims, he sets up hypotheticals where, by walking the reader through a sexual encounter step-by-step, he makes the woman seem unreasonable. . .

Here's how this kind of thing works:
1. Right-wing website doesn't interview anyone about the workshop.
2. Website's followers send threats/promise to show up & disrupt.
3. Workshop privacy settings changed for safety.
4. Website authors/followers outraged about privacy settings. I have yet to read an article in a conservative publication that explains that (a) faculty voluntarily do professional development to become more effective teachers, (b) it's typical for universities to have teaching centers that help faculty with this development, and. . .

New #BoiseState pres @MarleneTromp spoke this morning to the College of Arts & Sciences faculty. It was hard not to shout AMEN! or raise praise hands during her remarks. So much of what she said resonated with my experience and observations. @MarleneTromp spoke of the importance of the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences to the immediate work of the university—educating our students—but also addressed how, for example, historians and sociologists are essential to research in engineering & science.
