When you start thinking your job means making students feel small for crossing you, you need to quit immediately. 3/n

The instructor in the recording is awful, but this defense comes a department chair at a research university? Fucking hell. 4/n

It is really tempting to think that you're browbeating students for their own good. And it's poison. Abuse doesn't facilitate learning. 5/n

Abuse facilitates *brainwashing*. The placid arrogance of this man is worse than the ordinary spite of the instructor. 6/6

@St_Rev also equates letting *ideas* make students uncomfortable which is funny & rad with you being *mean* making them uncomfortable -
@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev Why are you tone policing her? I'm all for uncivil debate, but a classroom has standards. -
@Suppose_Not@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev tone per se isn't even the problem (imo), the problem is there's no teaching/learning happening here -
@Suppose_Not@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev "politely" excusing prof from any duty to answer challenges to 6-8 as the chair seems to do > -
@Suppose_Not@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev < isn't much of an improvement on the prof's reaction on that score -
@schakalsynthetc@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev Let students and professors yell at each other in protests in the quad. Completely different.
