Congrats! Advised a former student majoring in history to make sure to take one of your classes

Occasionally a class, but the dual enrollment course I teach at my HS is through Germanna as well

Well most of the work will be classroom management probably

I’m over here preparing to teach 6 classes, wishing I was in academia

When I had to read it for my Historiography seminar in grad school, Joan Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History shaped my whole intellectual trajectory. I’m glad she is calling out Scholasticide, unlike the AHA itself

Making a strong case against prison abolition

I guess he answers that by suggesting it’s inefficient. Terrible take but ok

Honestly, this doesn’t even sound human. And why does he think archeology shouldn’t or maybe can’t provide answers to questions?

Ok. The question about whether it should or shouldn’t be legal isn’t relevant. It is illegal. That is the point. The law should be broken
June 24, 2025 at 12:36 PM
Yeah, only action that is legal is ok with you, including murder. I understand. You want Gaza to be free, but as long as it’s not illegal for Israel to do genocide, so be it
June 24, 2025 at 12:31 PM
Again, your fixation on law has led you to misunderstand me
June 24, 2025 at 12:30 PM
Are humans and property the same thing? Be careful, you might start to think that Palestinians are as important as windows
June 24, 2025 at 12:27 PM
The gov is still aiding Israel, I am sorry to say. Your fixation on law led you to misunderstand me. The point of an action like this is to cause disruption, draw attention to, and express opposition to the government’s relationship with Israel. It’s not to make a point that it should be legal
June 24, 2025 at 12:25 PM
If you’re starting from a position that we should be more upset by a brick going through a window than people being murdered, you are on a different moral planet than I am, and I don’t think I can offer a defense that you would ever accept

But I guess killing Palestinians isn’t illegal. Defacing planes is.

They are protesting the UK’s support of a genocide. It’s pretty obvious. Fascinating to see more concern for two military aircraft than thousands of people

Wild that he probably thinks it’s clever
