the lack of meaningful push-back on claims like "schools are segregating the students" or "students have no choice" (while he's literally providing the opposite perspective at a university) is why I'm unsubbing. personal anecdotes dont count as evidence. equivocating overcorrection with the badness of a policy root is fallacious. and there's no philosophical value in removing intent from "cultural appropriation" - that action requires intent and would cover all costumes present at the party.
