    A thing I want more people to contemplate is how the Twitter outrage sausage is made. For example, why is an article on homeschooling — an article featured in the alumni magazine for a school most people did not attend — getting a lot of attention?

        Is there any particular reason why an article in Harvard Magazine, a magazine sent to Harvard alums (complete with a personals section!), would be this genuinely intriguing?

        Likely because the school is Harvard, no?

        It's a prominent college and it was an extremely horrible opinion. It wouldn't be a mystery if everyone seized on a Yale alumni paper saying "Racism is good actually!"

        A bad opinion in a college alumni magazine is like a three yard rush in a rainstorm: it’s not news!

        It’s also teeing up a conference, no? When I read about it, it sounded like a much bigger initiative—an effort to advance a point of view, backed by more extensive resources and research, not just ban opinion piece in the alumni magazine.

        This one isn't twitter outrage sausage. It's a larger part of a conference held there and the prominent advocates of both sides involved, plus the unique and important moment for the issue. It only looks like a twitter story to ppl paying too much attention to twitter.

        Sometimes the real world spills over into twitter. There's a really interesting backstory here and a longrunning debate. I'm glad ppl are noticing it. More should. Sometimes twitter accidentally has real policy debates, and this is one of them.
