I feel like like it or not this is the antiwar movement in the US right now. If the argument is that excluding the campist flank brings more normies in, I would say my experience is the normies are not checking who is on the sign.

Clearly not! They also don't teach that there is no reason to inch up when you are in the left lane. When I am inching up to make a right on red, you don't need to match me! That actually makes what I'm doing much harder!

For whatever reason I'm hit much harder by "His assertion was echoed by many actors in our age of insincerity." It's both boring and bad. I just despise how "in our age of insincerity" just hangs there, and doesn't quite describe either the actors or the assertion being echoed.

So looking at the document that you shared, this is the course review process for content about race/sex/gender/sexual orientation specifically right?

I don't have the info to know, but it's possible for OU to do a good version of this where they take her off this class, still pay her for the last month of the sem, let her continue her classes, and let her keep teaching after the investigation finds nothing. They might not do that but they could.

I agree it's weird. I taught courses as a grad student with other grad students as TAs, so I guess this is another way of approaching that arrangement? It looks like it was the intro class so it's one way of approaching a bigger class I guess.

I understand. The co-instructor is also a graduate student so it would seem strange for her to jump in if there was also a supervising professor.

It's a bunch of settler colonies with birthright citizenship and a high concentration of presidential systems. The history of nearly every American country is a story of natives, settlers, and the Metropole, plus in many of the countries African slaves.

I also have had Mexicans using estadounidense with me because they are afraid I'll be offended by gringo, which is actually pejorative.

Sure and I'm sure it's annoying to be demanded to say anything, but I'm from the US, sometimes call myself USian, and think of it like latinx: a deliberate effort to open new social possibilities through language. So I find the backlash overwrought

I don't really understand the framing of this as pejorative or derogatory or see why the diversity of the US has anything to do with it? I use USians sometimes when I'm distinguishing from the broader population of the Americas, and I think it's useful to think about a broad American identity
