I will be under full quarantine both Christmas and New Year. Seems like an appropriate end to 2020. ---

just to get terms straight this is from some dictionary give (someone) a permanent post, especially as a teacher or professor. “I had recently been tenured and then promoted to full professor” ---

I know. It is a common word. I was responding to your strange change of name to newyears. I often stray from the putative topic. ---

i know a little about tenure my father began as a teacher, then advanced to an administrator in a school district. my mother was a teacher. i have two sisters that are teachers. i have taught, but i would never be so proud as to call myself a teacher. i have read news stories about outspoken college professors that couldn’t be fired. tenure. let’s discuss the pros and cons of tenure. ---

Tenure goes against the modern practice of destroying people entirely if they say things that go against currently accepted thinking. Modern society is as closed minded as the Romans who imprisoned Galileo. ---

at the risk of reg rendering what i think redundant for instance, if a teacher says- america was founded at a time when owning slaves was accepted, and that will echo for a long time well then a teacher can say that. even if it isn’t popular. ---

It’s more complex than that. If you challenge preconceived notions in university these days, how you are received will be totally dependent on whether the topic is among the sacred and unquestionable holy writ of modern society. If you think the Spartans got a raw deal in history and they weren’t as savage as the Athenians said, that is not against the holy writ so your ideas will be considered with interest. If you suggest that races might actually be different and some races may be stupider than others, you will have violated the holy writ and they will try to burn you as surely as the good people of Salem burned their witches. > [@Who\_Scowls\_Like\_That](#): > > jeez reg you’ve been replying for ten minutes > didn’t you know what you wanted to say when you sat down? I started replying, but then the cat wanted to be chased which was more important, so I took a break to do that. ---

> [@Who\_Scowls\_Like\_That](#): > > if you say america was founded by space aliens > well, then, a teacher can say that, too. If you say America was founded by space aliens, you will probably no longer be considered for the head of your department but nobody will try to take away your tenure. If you say transgenderism is a mental illness and should be treated as such, you will be put on administrative leave and pressured to give up your tenure. You will certainly never teach a classroom again. ---

> [@Who\_Scowls\_Like\_That](#): > > that’s an issue for you, isn’t it? Not at all. I think society has this one wrong, but I think society has many things wrong. One of my closest friends is transgender. He seems stuck halfway but I don’t know of course. I don’t ask him about it and he doesn’t offer me any information. It’s not something we feel the need to talk about. ---

before reg injected emotional issues of transgenderism, we were talking about tenure. something reg obviously hasn’t thought about as much as sex-changes. i have an EXTREME example of the pitfalls of tenure. i wonder if anyone else has one. that hasn’t been ripped from the tabloids. and LINKS POSTED here. something personal. i will pause here for responses before i post mine. ---
