For Tablet, I wrote about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), the therapeutic trend that’s probably already at your local public school. SEL is an expansive— and very lucrative— industry of dubious specialists, more insidiously entrenched than DEI

Academia wants it both ways— they want to be a loving egalitarian community while also being hierarchical, conformist, and gatekeepy. As a result no one, not even the tenured, has real authority beyond petty etiquette policing.

cultural conservative notion of “safetyism” gets it wrong by taking the objects of their critique too much at face value. these kids don’t actually feel threatened or unsafe in any way. they’re integrating themselves into a corporate grievance structure and reaping its rewards.

A cheap ploy female writers do today is write about mundane bodily functions (picking nose, taking shits) and pretend this is so taboo and transgressive and they are the feminist vanguard. Endlessly resurrecting and defiling a cow no one thinks is sacred.
