Welp, here we go. A counter-protest against calls for Fiedler to resign. This is absolute trash, but I cannot say I'm surprised.

"Trial in absentia" is ridiculous. There is no court, no jury, no judge, just people reading and coming to their own conclusions. If I come to a conclusion that a pattern of actions is racist, that doesn't mean I rushed to judgment or made an error in judgement. Sigh.

And this whole thing is made even more painful and silly by how basic and elementary the, er, white male commentaries are. The writing and arguments were just bad!

@sylviapperry

Leaders should not fall back on "everyone else is doing it" when asked to do better.

"Won't you consider the value of a white man's reputation?" Sigh. 2022.

@sylviapperry Do the people who signed the letter understand the meaning of the word "audit"? Like, literally, if you think more information is needed before reaching conclusions, what exactly do you envision as the process of systematically gathering and analyzing that information?
