This is true for students too. Yes there are many factors impacting student reading, but working 30+ hours a week to be able to afford college is definitely one of them.

This idolatrous basilisk shit masquerading as a vaguely Christian concern is nakedly and transparently designed to hype up fear, because a bunch of billionaires need to worsen our global crisis in order for them to impoverish most of humanity. Get fucked.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

They absolutely feel like they are completely beyond accountability and that there will never be anything that can touch them. People who don't think they will ever answer for their crimes are more dangerous than anything.

This is what frustrates me about the perennial "how do we reach the public" conversations. Are students--and by extension their parents/families/caregivers--not "the public?" Are classrooms, museums, parks, and historic sites not venues where we can reach the public at scale?

It's time for academics to seriously consider collectively organizing a boycott of institutions that cave to the Trump Administration and surrender their academic freedom while imperiling everyone else's. No visits. No publications. No tenure letters. No lectures.
