Every part of this screams that we're dealing with people who do not understand thinking, or learning, and never mastered the soft skills they should have learned in early childhood. And now they want to turn the classroom in a fascist panopticon where they can punish kids for not smiling enough.

Okay, so Haverford gets to decide who is and is not Jewish, making it contingent on how fervently they perform their Zionism? The control of identity and the contingency of race has long been a tool of white supremacism and various flavors of authortitarianism. This is 100% fucked up.

Acton is a great example of why we need primaries instead of coronations. If Acton had to contend with a left flank, she might have been pushed to avoid/adandon this Republican Lite™ bullshit. And if she didn't, Ohio Dems could have picked someone who better represented them. Now it's evil vs vile.
