I'm super uncomfortable with a religion prof (even if he's a longtime instructor) present such a complex subject as a binary (agree or disagree with the scope of diagnoses) as well as reducing the dis/ability conversation to a question of whether The Kids These Days are chasing ADHD diagnoses. (1/?)
Everything in this article is offensive, not least of which is the fact that the author offers no pedagogical solutions like universal design. We need disability justice in higher ed, not more gatekeeping and pearl clutching. www.chronicle.com/article/do-c...
Higher ed’s maximally inclusive approach hurts those it attempts to help.

This is why I read it too. Just got madder the more I read.
YES. Thank you. I saw this (as their top story!) this morning, read it, and was just like, I can’t. I’m not a specialist in this area of research, but saw so many problems, assumptions, etc. it’s a real choice on CHE’s part to run it and feature it.
Reading Private Revolutions: Four Women Face China's New Social Order by Yuan Yang. Listening to Empress: The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan by Ruby Lal. Both great.
I teach that subject, and it's not uncommon for students to hold that belief before we've reviewed the history.
Can't believe I had to write this. But given the upswing in anti-vax sentiment in the US and the low vaccination rates for COVID and flu (and the under-vaccination of kids for some infections), it has to be said loud and clear. Vaccines work. Get yours today. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Would read.
Appreciated @amandamarcotte.bsky.social's analysis, especially flagging how tradwife/female disempowerment discourse is part of a fascistic effort to "romanticize the past and demonize the present," embedded within a broader argument that "natural"/"the ways things used to be" is always better.
RFK Jr. and Jordan Peterson's "Make America Healthy Again" nonsense is often chalked up to "horseshoe theory." I disagree. Woo-woo was always reactionary, not progressive, despite a crunchy exterior. Alt-med going full MAGA is just a flowering into its final form. www.salon.com/2024/09/26/r...
Despite a crunchy exterior, "alternative medicine" has always been rooted in opposition to social progress
