Last month I was happy to be part of a gathering on civic thought in higher education, sponsored by @snfagora.bsky.social and AEI . Video is now up at www.aei.org/events/civic... and my panel in specific is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKnP... .

Everyone wants U.S. colleges to produce good citizens. No one knows how. My view with @chrislundberg today via @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/opinion/ever...
Just withdrew a manuscript from @plos.org one after over seven months with no review. Disappointed cause I like the model but this is unacceptable.

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

citizens, scholars, and professionals. That’s what the @UNC Ideas in Action curriculum is founded on. [5/5]
offers a substantive rationale for avoiding ideologically driven courses in gen ed without simply substituting one group’s ideology for another’s. And most importantly it puts students’ needs before those of faculty, focusing on graduating rounded, capable people as [4/]
what capacities students most need for civic, intellectual, moral, and yes professional success, and foster those capacities through substantive courses across human knowledge. Then measure outcomes and adjust: are students gaining those capacities? This approach [3/]
They contrast this vision to “sprawl” in gen ed where “tendentious” and “exotic” approaches are taught. Yes gen ed can sprawl, but substituting their ideologically driven (“great”, “sacred”, “momentous”) content is no solution. The right approach is to examine [2/]

My suspicion is you’re confusing cause and effect. People report “believing” these things because people like them are supposed to believe them. Attitude/identity => misinformation/belief, not the other way around. (Again, my suspicion, not a demonstrated finding.)
