I Will Not Be Lectured To. I’m Too Busy Teaching. | The Tattooed Professor | May 2015
“I. Am. So. Done. with being lectured to by academics from elite
institutions about how I–and many others in similar career arcs–am
somehow failing students, the liberal arts, other faculty, civil
society, western civilization, the Cleveland Indians, or any other
institution that has fallen on hard times. And I’m really hacked
off when that scolding comes from obliviously pretentious Older White
Male Professors who come across less as committed to education and more
like committed to telling the rest of us how we don’t do things nearly
as well as they did In My Day.”
