A rational approach to Flanagan's comments. RT @fischerville Tom Flanagan is wrong, not evil http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion... by @michaeltaube
RT @fischerville: Tom Flanagan is wrong, not evil http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion... by @michaeltaube
RT @rickconrad: For all you Tom Flanagan-ers: Don't forget the Gerald Hannon controversy from a bunch of years ago
RT @aradwanski: Hope people tripping over themselves to denounce Tom Flanagan as history's worst monster has never said anything stupid or ill-informed.
This does not mean I agree with Flanagan. But if mob rule is going to decide what we can and cannot say, I do not want to play anymore.
Looking further into the issue, it's clear that Flanagan was talking about materials where no children are abused. Internet you are a bully.
In general, I wish the internet approached issues with curiosity rather than immediate condemnation. I know that's asking alot though.
For example, if Flanagan was referring to art that portrays children (and where no children are used in the production) then I might agree.
I am concerned by the immediate reaction to the Tom Flanagan quote. I would like to hear more about his position here, honestly.
RT @dan_bowman: @RyanDeschamps Smarten up. Time to take things seriously. People are still people, irrespective of how far away they are when talking to U.

Anyone else got a classic/canonical text they can describe in 140 characters? #tweetmycomps #phd101
Wilson, James Q. 1989. Bureaucracy. //--> Govs are inefficient largely because we want them that way. #tweetmycomps
Polanyi, K. 1944. The Great Transformation. //--> Self regulating market creates wealth and poverty. Then govs fuck us all. #tweetmycomps
Of for goodness sakes that's comps not computer. Stupid autocorrect.
Lukes S. ( 2005 ). Power : a Radical View. //--> You are ruled also by some things you don't hate. #phd101 #tweetmycomps
Another I can think of include some of the work Idle No More is talking about, and human rights included in AB curriculum policy.
Thanks so much for the help Twitter! Got copyright, teacher pay, school year (SK) and social promotion as some good ones.
Full disclosure - I will want to look at a specific case study for some research I will do down the line. #edupolicy
Thanks Twitter! Keep those ideas coming. I am interested in global education trends as well please! #edtrends #education
Twitter please help! Any examples of a juicy education policy issue besides bullying that caught social media attn in the past year or 2?
