Things like this are blowing up faster and harder then ever. Is it a backlash or just widening divide?

After a teaching assistant at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania tweeted about a strategy to encourage classroom participation by minority students, the tweets sparked a massive online clash with conservative news outlets and many Twitter and Reddit users calling for the assistant to be fired while other academics rallied to the assistant’s defense.
Stephanie McKellop, a Ph.D. student and teaching assistant who studies marriage and family, has since set their Twitter account to private, but archived copies of the tweets were posted online and quoted in news stories. (McKellop uses they/them pronouns.)

Private school - but part of me feels like there's a discrimination suit in there somewhere.....

It's unclear. She's a teaching assistant. Interesting profile.

Using plural pronouns to describe an individual used to get points deducted.

Frontier History is now dead. I would have had to deal with a cripple like this if I was focusing on my favorite history today

Does fat people come before or after POC in the victim hierarchy?

She looks like she has something stuck up her ass... hopefully someone will get her fired for that BS.
