Our soccer coach forbade parents from using verbs and would yell at any who disobeyed his order. It was magical!

So much of the skill in soccer is decision-making. These parents are actually impeding the skill of their child when they do this!

It’s also used to refer to coaches who do this!

North Carolina is its own universe sometimes. It’s hard to explain to people from outside how the state and university function together.

Tricky here is that there is broad voter support for “right to work” and the law can only be amended by General Assembly which is staunchly opposed. So organizing tends to predictably stall, as does so much else here.

True. Repealing it here has not been easy at all.

But the work will not slow down and you and remaining faculty will be asked to keep it all up…

Yes, there are actually very few professors - in my experience - who live off their salaries alone. So many have family/partner wealth.

I have a whole list here! There is a Dutch show on Netflix called Soccer Parents that gets at the insanity pretty amazingly!

I tried to avoid giving one, but the irritation took over (that and I just have spent months reading the meeting minutes from the 1951 refugee convention where the idea of fleeing persecution was defined down to a narrow pin prick.

I guess so. The use of great is interesting. Remember all the “great books” courses? I regularly teach courses on migration, but I wouldn’t think of that as a fundamental concept or anything great. Making attractive courses has always been something we do, no?

Weird, we already do intro courses like this. I don’t understand the Harvard spin on this?

This is the secret I think, too. Home ownership and extra moisturized.

Naturalized people are afraid, too. And this is a very large number of people who are impacted. The base feels he is being tough on immigration and a very large number of people are left afraid that they have no due process or first amendment rights!

It’s fear and silence. I just crossed from canada to the U.S. and the fear is really obvious. Immigrants, now including permanent residents, do not want to speak in public or attend protests. That’s a very clear social and political goal.

It’s precisely this kind of coded writing that lets us know it was written by a human.

Violation of due process seems most obvious challenge.
