Can someone explain the double doctor ( Dr. Dr.) in front of her name?
Is she really that eaten up with titles?

My mom has cancer, is very overweight, and has diabetes, and had covid, and didn't even get hospitalized... so you don't know that.docaggie said:
If you'd scroll through her twitter timeline, you'd see why she's concerned.
Flame away, but she should probably be cut a little slack given her life situation. She has cancer - a bad one - and is immunocompromised as a result. She's concerned about getting COVID on top of that, that she won't be able to fight both. And she's right, getting COVID in her condition would be really bad. Take a minute to see life from her viewpoint, where she's vaccinated, masked, but could still potentially get a virus that would not be a cake walk for someone in her shoes.
Now, she's definitely on the liberal end of the spectrum, politically Would I be posting out there for twitter about masking a full stadium? No. But I can see where her fear is coming from.
I thought everyone knew that.Muy said:Fightin TX Aggie said:

She would have a fair amount of control of her classroom and students. Indoctrinating the young with communist garbage is part of the plan. So, I wouldn't trivialize the threat she represents in that respect.docaggie said:mazag08 said:

That's the thing, she's not in any position of authority. She isn't the governor. She isn't the President of A&M. She isn't a legislator. She can't mandate masking, vaccinations, or even what toenail polish a student can wear.
The absolute most power she has is her one vote that she has as a citizen. That's it.

Given her emotional fragility I am guessing any pushback on her views might make her cry.
She's a science professor not an anthropology professor, so it's hard for her to make ill-reasoned political commentary in class with relating her academic freedom to science otherwise it's an abuse of her freedom. You also know you can't arbitrarily cover any content you wish there is a course description to provide guidelines and accrediting bodies make sure you can't stick anything in there so I'm not teaching Real Analysis to kids taking College Algebra, but that doesn't restrict you from adding germane topics that are relevant to the course description. Of course people with degrees in loser subjects, such as anthropology, can stick anything in there they want because the course work is easy.Pease said:Faculty have lots of power in their classrooms.

Yup.
I thing the term is "preening".

Funny how the biggest beneficiaries of liberty and capitalism are the quickest to ***** about it.
I care. I have two kids in college who have to put up with leftist lunatic professors like this who try to single out and shame kids who won't wear masks, call them murderers, etc. People like this creature need to be shamed and driven from public life by normal citizens.PascalsWager said:
They had a big crowd at Cal with few people wearing masks. Her ideology is beyond what average liberals are advocating for.
I'm not sure where she'd find a home ideologically. Still she's just a professor tweeting her personal opinions. Who cares.

You'd think you'd count that as a victory. The vitriol has moved her to shield her thoughts rather than wearing them on her sleeve for all to see.
Faustus said:
I just kind of assume she got wind of this thread, and didn't want to be a focal point for concerted pushback.
It's all well and good to tweet what you want, but it's probably not much fun to singled out for it on a heavily trafficked website where opposing views can be expressed rather vehemently. Notwithstanding a Doctor noting she has cancer, from which her concerns may spring, she's been attacked for her looks, degrees (although the Dr Dr riffs have been funny and light hearted), called a cockroach for shielding her tweets, and a lot of other personal things apart from the posts taking issue with the substance of the tweet.
I'd duck out too rather than face F16's ire. (That's not really true, I kind of enjoy it).
Agreed liberal discourse is sadly stunted.
