I quit life rt @literarychica: ::headdesk:: RT @redclayscholar: Welp! Here it be: http://chronicle.com/blogs/brainstorm/the-most-persuasive-case-for-eliminating-black-studies-just-read-the-dissertations/46346 …/blogs/brainstorm/the-most-persuasive-case-for-eliminating-black-studies-just-read-the-dissertations/46346”- .@tanyagolashboza @literarychica @redclayscholar I scrolled after the 1st para looking for the rhetorical turn into irony. Never came
- The biggest insult? naomi schaefer riley doesn't critique the arguments of black studies scholars. That would be too respectful @chronicle
@tressiemcphd I just read the original article a few days ago. Her response and critique of it is angering and heart breaking.
Naomi Schaefer Riley's blog piece @chronicle attacking Black Studies reads like lifted from Manhattan Institute and/or Amy Wax lecture- The Inferiority of Blackness as a Subject or, Naomi Schaefer Riley Can Kiss My Grits http://wp.me/p28iGT-2H 2H
cont'd: Same time yes, it is worth questioning how/why this piece http://bit.ly/KGpCf9 was pub'd. I will do so & report back. @tressiemcphd- Yes, please let's have that discussion. Because this kind of attack should not be legitimized http://tressiemc.com/2012/05/02/the-inferiority-of-blackness-as-a-subject/ …/2Chronicle_Amy-inferiority-of-blackness-as-a-subject/ @Chronicle_Amy
- And I'mma give Amy a hot second before I hit publish on this petition to remove @NaomiSRiley from their pages. But only a hot second.
@chronicle Saddened by your magazine's decision to endorse hateful, semiliterate, racially-motivated criticism of black doctoral students.- I'm not kidding: the clock is running on me publishing a petition to dismiss Schaefer Riley from @chronicle
- No. I'm REALLY indignant. Petition: Challenge @chronicle to Dismiss Naomi Schaefer Riley http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/challenge-the-chronicle-of-higher-education-to/ …s.com/petition/challenge-the-chronicle-of-higher-education-to/
@tressiemcphd Notice as well that when they responded to you here, they still included the link? Traffic is traffic. Sigh.
@tressiemcphd @chronicle Just read Riley on black studies. I'm a former sr writer @ Chron. Riley's piece is scandalously irresponsible.
check out my new post on why black scholarship matters: http://surlyurbanist.blogspot.com/2012/05/black-scholarship-matters.html ….blogspot.ctressiemcphdlack-scholarship-matters.html word to @tressiemcphd
As a blogger for the @chronicle, I'm seriously disappointed by their decision to publish NSR's irresponsibly anti-intellectual opinions. +- I would hope that they consider how *other* @chronicle bloggers feel being associated, however indirectly, with content like this. -
@GeorgeOnline Just as disturbing as the @chronicle publishing the post is the @chronicle tweeting it to increase page views.
@GeorgeOnline @samplereality @chronicle Yeah, they even tweeted it in response to @tressiemcphd's article: http://bit.ly/JfCWmP- Dear, @chronicle,1hr = almost 50 scholars have signed their name to demand you dismiss Naomi Schaefer Riley http://bit.ly/JOHall
- That's more reads than most journal articles. People really don't like bullies, @chronicle. You shouldn't either.
