But just to be clear… “we are not banning Plato altogether.” Shew! I was really worried about that. I’m so relieved to find out that we’re just doing SOME banning.

Those who initiated the revision are opposed to anything that is not cisgender/heterosexual, but that’s not what the policy says.

Agree with this (and it was brilliant) but I don’t think it’s malicious compliance. Malicious compliance would be refusing to teach anything, bc everything is related to gender identity.

Some who haven’t read Plato were surprised that his dialogues include themes they are trying to ban from the classroom, but their ignorance of philosophy doesn’t make including a relevant text in the course malicious compliance.

Why do you suspect malicious compliance? This is highlighting the absurdity of the policy. But I’m not sure the term fits.

It’s real.

Remember— from them, every accusation is a confession.
