    Jeet Heer Retweeted corey robin

    God knows I've had my share of disagreements with Corey Robin but it has to be said that his thread was good, made some reasonable (if disputable) points & the freak out to it is shameful.https://twitter.com/CoreyRobin/status/1486875329226551297 …

    Self-confessed former evangelical tells Jew that, when it comes to the Holocaust, he needs to learn, grow, and do better. Not because of what he said, mind you, but because of what everyone's saying about what he said. Gems like this make all the crap on social media so worth it. https://twitter.com/LifeLivedWildly/status/1486874106360336385 …

        People aren’t “freaking out.” They have reasonable concerns about the language he uses just like school boards around the country have reasonable concerns about the language in Maus

        Agreed. Thought it was the wrong interp given the current right-wing white-lash and widespread book-banning campaign; but he's not entirely wrong that prudishness and parental fear of almost *any* "uncomfortable" topics is at least a part of the problem.

        They want a sanitized version of the Holocaust. No they aren’t holocaust deniers, no, no!! Maybe there is happy, crappy version of the holocaust in book form we can use.

        Americans have always demanded a sanitized version of the Holocaust and the war—Most Americans think that the US won the war in Europe.

        I found it persuasive, though much of his argument hangs on the assumption that the board members have never heard of Maus.

        A very reasonable assumption. I mean, look at them!

        My respect for Corey's intellect hasn't been diminished, but his public role has always been tiresome

        The problem with Robin is that his normal manner of speech is unfathomably condescending, and so when he says something controversial people get wound up because he's essentially ALWAYS egging people on.
