These guys always point to other causes but never mention any solutions. So if it’s video games does he propose censorship of video games? Restricting the type of content that kids can engage in online or in games? If it’s mental illness, do we provide care to prevent that?

These anonymous student evaluations tend to be completed by a small percentage of the students, mostly the angry ones. They have also been shown to rate people of color lower. Those who teach introductory courses also get lower scores
