Today’s College Classroom Is a Therapy Session. The tough guys are gone. Instructors are expected to foster ‘safe,’ ‘nurturing,’ ‘antiracist’ spaces.

When did "tough" and "compassionate" or "empathetic" became perceived as at odds? Some of the toughest people I know are also the most compassionate and sometimes toughness is how you show love. The best teachers? In my experience they are both.https://t.co/rzXhLdmXSr
