The sweeping #redstate drive to roll back #CivilRights & #liberties
by Ron Brownstein
Since 2021, #Republican-controlled states have passed a swarm of #laws to restrict #VotingRights, increase penalties for #public #protest, impose new restrictions on #transgender youth, #BanBooks, & limit what #teachers, #college #professors, & #employers can say about #race, #gender, & #SexualOrientation.
#AbortionRights

The funniest part is that this indoctrination into the glories of the “free” market could never have happened via free #markets. Rather, as Oreskes and Conway illustrate, it required enormous #subsidies from corporate America, much of it going to tenured #professors working at nonprofit #universities.

The book ”The Big Myth” by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway details how the top 10 percent stole $47 trillion via intellectual warfare.

I am glad to know who is responsible for these #math concepts I take for granted. I got my first #calculator in 7th grade. Our math #teacher warned us not to rely on #calculators because "Sometimes they're wrong!" One of my #CivilEngineering #professors used a #SlideRule to show the importance of understanding the quantities we're working with rather than blindly accepting the results from a #computer. One #typo can lead to disaster. I now have my own slide rule.

I’ve made myself a Guinea Pig, folks, and taken the plunge into figuring out if it really is so easy to create a course on the Teachable platform from scratch, for busy educators. I’ve uploaded my first short on it, and I’ll be documenting my hours not just what I’ve done. Life derailments included, like my daughter’s cat staring me in the eye, doing a big yawn, and me waking up 4 hours later, as happened tonight. #teachers #professors #teachable https://youtube.com/shorts/QvXQZmjmeCY?feature=share

Students of color have an 80% higher rate of ending up with disciplinary actions for normal behavior than their white peers. It’s worse for minor infractions. It doesn’t help that US teacher education programs focus almost entirely on crowd control techniques with no real instruction in how to teach. #teachers #professors #teachertraining #TeacherEducation #globaleducation #bipoc

My 4th article for the NY #CitizenScience column comes out Thursday. It may interest #professors, #parents, & #admin to know that #ZeroGPT said 2.29% of my article was AI-generated (wrong: it was all me, a test).
Then I asked #ChatGPT to respond:

44 followers · 20 posts · Server techhub.socialI am undertaking research into attitudes towards and perceptions of contract cheating, within UK-based higher education.
Below is a link to an anonymous survey, which takes around 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey can be taken by #Students or #Teachers / #Lecturers / #Professors / #Tutors / #Instructors or anybody who has taught in some capacity at a UK-based higher educational facility. It does not matter if you reside in the UK, just that you taught / studied at a UK-based institution, no matter how long ago.
This research is for my #MBA #Dissertation and therefore all responses will be extremely helpful.
Thank you in advance for you consideration and participation.

"The #abolition of the totality would, then, allow for the possible constitution of very different, non-totalizing, forms of the political coordination and regulation of #society."
In full context:
"Finally, the notion that #capital constitutes the historical Subject also suggests that the realm of #politics in a #postcapitalist society should not be seen in terms of a totality that is hindered in #capitalism from emerging fully. Indeed, it implies the contrary—that an institutionally totalizing form of politics should be interpreted as an expression of the #political coordination of capital as the totality, subject to its constraints and imperatives, rather than as the overcoming of capital. The #abolition of the totality would, then, allow for the possible constitution of very different, non-totalizing, forms of the political coordination and regulation of #society." - #MoishePostone
I still like it 😊
