More strange and/or foul reactions

I don't understand how anyone with an institutional role that is publicly visible posts political shit on social media. I never did post political shit except for our little hideout here, and now as chair of the Foundation I'm even more careful.

As it befits your position to be. As amazing as it may seem, some things are more important than publicly airing our opinions.

Indeed. If you look at my Faceypage, you'll see

1. It's not my real name ("V" is my middle initial, in case you're wondering).
2. There's nothing political or controversial there.

I decided that when I established the account (before I retired). Last thing I wanted was some patient looking me up.

Yeah, if you're really dedicated, you can find my kids and their last names, but...

I heard a clergyman say, "I'm not an anti-semite. I have nothing against the Arabs."

Though I disagree with Fetterman on countless issues, he came across with some remarkable clarity.

Also, watching the man speak is interesting. It looks like he's made significant progress in his recovery from his CVA.

Good for him.

Says "unauthorized."

Go figure.

Maybe someone noticed.

That should be criminal menacing of some sort. It’s definitely a threat.

[jon-nyc]

I was thinking that should be criminal.

And she's the one dumb enough to go public.

The smart ones are still teaching children.

Something a bit more anodyne.

Just a bit...

Dr. Tosca is at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) where she teaches...

...climate science.

At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

D1 went to SAIC - I don't think climate science was in her curriculum, but I might be wrong.

Dr. Mika...

Kind of a Mulvaney vibe going, no?

Yeah...

Def a Mulvaney vibe.

Apology...

“Yesterday I wrote some things on my Instagram story that I unequivocally reject and do not stand behind,” Tosca wrote.

“I am deeply sorry for writing what I wrote, and for hurting many people with my words, and I am especially sorry to Israeli people that I broadly placed at fault for the war.”

Remember the case of Ilya Shapiro?

Wow

Comments:

"I guarantee none of these kids even know what river or sea they're referring to."

"Screaming 'River to the Sea' is not much different than screaming 'Sieg Heil'.

"How many can point to Gaza in a map? "

Really bringing them out, isn't it?

Better to see them for who they are.

That's because you're an old fart and did not grow up in the social media age.

Discrimination.

In our pursuit to mandate all people and things are equal, we have left behind some immutable, if not currently popular, Truths.

1. Some societies are better for mankind than others.
2. Some religions or segments of religious followers are mostly violent and toxic.
3. Politics should be kept out of public education.
4. All individual behavior is not equally desirable in well-functioning society.
5. Melting Pots work.
