      Jeet Heer Retweeted Kirkus Reviews

      Again, it's important to understand this sort of censorship is pushed by the hard right but in crucial ways enabled by centrist voices who use their platforms to inflate the CRT bogeyman.https://twitter.com/KirkusReviews/status/1486042478457364482 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

      A Missouri school board is banning Toni Morrison and Alison Bechdel. There's a possibility John McWhorter take his head out of his ass and admit there is a problem with right-wing censorship.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1486107045464055809 …

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          Here, John McWhorter’s last book is unavailable at any public library system in my area (whereas his earlier books on linguistics are). That includes city and rural areas. Books by writers and ideas he critiques in his new book on the other hand are in vast and plentiful supply.

          lmao even in his example of right-wing censorship, he’s still supporting their conception of crt.pic.twitter.com/Z089aIMmoL

          you'll be shocked to learn that his summary of left-wing censorship is also inaccurate

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          In all the talk about those out-of-touch liberal elites, I don't remember hearing about the ones who seem to have forgotten what a continual threat social conservatives are.

          That's because you probably haven't read @JohnHMcWhorter 's book, or listened to what he has said.
