Is there a name for the phenomenon where you will type out a tweet and proofread it twice, then as soon as you post it realize two articles are missing and you wrote "able" instead of "a bell"?

Wild? No. Immigrants were absolutely coerced into Americanization. Companies like Ford had an "Americanization Program" and offered a high wage of $5 a day but workers had to undergo surprise inspections at their homes by Ford’s "Sociological Department." Inspectors would show up unannounced at workers' homes to ensure they were speaking English, eating "American" food, and maintaining middle-class American hygiene. If they continued to keep their old cultural habits, they were eventually fired. Some states even passed legislation that prohibited the teaching of foreign languages to young children. English only. 37 states further passed laws making English the official language of the state during this push for Americanization. Then, immigration was severely restricted for around 40 years from 1924 to 1965 in an attempt to mitigate the damage done by mass immigration.

@adamkjohnston Child of immigrants here. Wild that an organization like The Federalist would use the phrase "this coercive form of Americanization no longer exists." You do understand that our parents werent "coerced" into believing that America was the greatest country in the world right?

Female athletes need external constraints imposed with regard to modesty, for the same reason male athletes need external constraints imposed for PEDs. Unilateral disarmament is a sucker's game.

There is no rule saying women have to wear the bikini style shorts. The rules for track and field say only that clothing has to be clean, not transparent, and must not block the view of the judges. Women wear the tiny shorts because they choose to.

Journalists WILL just tell brazen lies about you. And those lies can then be cited by other journalists and on Wikipedia, thus making them True Facts, because journalists—even when they're telling 100% verifiable lies—are "Reliable Sources". Our society has a fraud problem.

.@TIME recently published an article about me that falsely attributes statements I never made. I repeatedly asked the reporter to correct the errors and have since escalated it to senior editors. The falsehood remains published. This is journalistic malpractice.

In general, the problem with all the recent talk of “viewpoint diversity” as the cure for the monoculture of the university is this: (1) everyone thinks that there must be some limits of professional competence to viewpoint diversity (no flat-earth types in the geography department please); (2) academic progressives overwhelmingly hold that views like “men cannot get pregnant” are as inadmissible as believing in a flat earth. Hence they are ultimately unable to reform themselves, at least at the department level. There must be thorough reconstruction from above or from outside.

Hot take: if we simply expelled any student who was disrespectful or violent toward a teacher, results would go up and costs would go down. But we don't, because the data generated would reveal things we prefer not to say put loud.
Adam Boxer@adamboxer1

Most of teaching isn't that hard. We have the tools to make every school and every teacher significantly better, but choose to invest time, energy, and capital in things that don't work. We then excuse our failures by saying that teaching is hard.
