maybe because the US is very controversial because bad decisions get made constantly? when other governments make horrible brainrot-level decisions, that gets international attention as well.
Can’t believe something like this happened at a big public university
Ms. McElroy ultimately turned down the one-year contract, she said, and the episode became a full-blown crisis for Texas A&M after The Texas Tribune first reported on the conflict. Ms. McElroy described a series of conversations in which the Arts and Sciences dean told her that there was political pushback to her appointment.
“I said, ‘What’s wrong?’” Ms. McElroy recalled of her conversation with the dean, José Luis Bermúdez. “He said, ‘You’re a Black woman who was at The New York Times and, to these folks, that’s like working for Pravda.’” Ms. McElroy, who left The Times in 2011, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Friday.
In 2021, Nikole Hannah-Jones, a writer for The New York Times Magazine, was denied a tenured position at the University of North Carolina (“tHe nAtIoN’S FiRsT PuBlIc uNiVeRsItY”), after the university’s board of trustees refused to approve her appointment. Conservatives had taken issue with her involvement in The Times’s 1619 Project, which re-examined slavery in the United States.
I had an opportunity to once attend a lecture by Nikole Hannah-Jones. Amazing experience. She was not shy about addressing problems of whiteness in academia and I can only assume it’s for that reason and that reason alone that she would be denied a position at a university.
Fetus is just a term for an unborn baby. What magic do you believe happens when a baby is born? The vagina sprinkles pixie dust on it and it becomes sentient and a real person? Lol.
Agreed, which is why I believe you should be able to murder people who pass out at parties early.
“Officer, they weren’t even conscious, bro.”
Also, scientifically, a baby develops its first sense, touch around 8 weeks, which connect to their developing brain. Furthermore, the current lack of consciousness, if it were true, doesn’t/shouldn’t forfeit your right to develop/gain consciousness.
This is something I’m wanting to bring up in our next union negotiations. Anyone working in the heat needs this ironed out before the next few years, as summers just keep getting worse. It’s ridiculous there aren’t laws for this yet.
