Going tribal often means similar blowback:

In this fascinating read, @koertdebeuf traces the very first moments when Muslim influence began to reach Europe. Funnily, the early European pushback was against their secularist ideas.

In reply to My first thoughts after

On a global scale they're saying "I'll kill you if you say that" and we're saying "Ok, I won't say that." And you're saying that's smart. I suppose it is stupid to prioritize your values over your life. Taking a risk to do the right thing isn't very smart. When faced with a threat the faster we submit the safer we'll be.

There was a time when people said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" The motto for our time is "The smartest thing to do is knuckle under and shut the fuck up."

My first thoughts after reading the article: While the punishment certainly did not match the "transgression", someone that politically stupid should not have been teaching civics to middle schoolers. He could have used examples from other eras to make his points about freedom of speech. He endangered not just himself but his students as well by choosing to use contemporary flashpoints.

gets across how doing this can be such a powerful terror tactic:

A teacher was *beheaded* in Paris yesterday over cartoons. Witnessing parents either try to explain this to their children or shield them a little longer from such despicable knowledge has been a trip today.
