Didn’t I already ask you to tone down the race stuff? I appreciate the content, but Id rather avoid this kind of stuff. TBH, I dont know if this is starting to cross the line into racism or if its just being bothered by racism or what.
Man, I hate judgement calls.
The issue I see is it’s about the culture war but not tied to an event or policy. It’s the ranting of one professor.
So it should just be ignored that leftists are using universities to push their garbage?
One professor is not the teachings of a university. Has the university put out a statement agreeing with her? Has the department head said anything? All I see is a statement from one teacher.
If I went and used my position as a federal employee to sling this type of political shit, I’d be out a job. It’s not exactly like the university is in the dark about what this teacher is doing.
You are against free speech? Or just speech you don’t like? She isn’t tenured but this is why tenure is important.
Did you read her research or just form an opinion based on the headline ?
She’s free to say whatever she likes, and the university is free to keep slime like her on. And similarly, I’m free to judge them based on their own speech.
Read he study. The best solution to her complaints is end social programs. That would solve her complaints. End tanf, social security, etc and get complaints go away.
In the article, Letiecq said she drew upon “critical feminist and intersectional frameworks to delineate an overarching orientation to structural oppression and unequal power relations that advantages White heteropatriarchal nuclear families (WHNFs) and marginalizes others as a function of family structure and relationship status.”
Just ignore the content. All these words are why many normal folks think academic liberals are airheads. I know what she’s saying because I got used to this style of super dense academic writing. But how are regular folk supposed to make heads or tails of this?
To be fair, though, I’m not sure why media generally insists on presenting academic viewpoints like this. It’s the social science version of talking about the mathematics of fusion reactors:
Particles are scattered by the MHD waves which are raised by instability of background plasmas. Probability that a particle entering to the downstream will eventually return to the upstream energy gain factor when a particle crosses and re-crosses the shock front.
Presenting unintelligible nonsense (from the layman’s perspective) helps nobody. But then, Fox News does what media also generally does and dumbs the critique of marriage down into an absurdity to attack an easy strawman.

Because they are fundamentally social topics that impact your average Joe. To just let a bunch of quacks leverage institutions to push their crap is how we let things go worse.
