Psych professor puts Grump's banned words to good use on Diane Ravitch's blog:
"Join me, activists and advocates, in the project of smashing barriers, interrupting oppression, searching out our own biases, respecting pronouns, increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, and fighting for social justice. Let us join in allyship and provide culturally responsive, identity-affirming care to marginalized, underserved, and/or vulnerable populations. We will think historically and systemically from an intersectional, feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial position. We will celebrate our diverse backgrounds and cultural differences. We will fight for accessible mental health care and embrace climate science. We will challenge institutional racism and call out hate speech. We will not tolerate discrimination against people, whether the discriminatory words or actions are based on race, ethnicity, citizenship, country of origin, sex, gender, sexual preference, (dis)ability, religious beliefs, socioeconomic status, or any other aspects of our cultural identities. We are a nation of indigenous people and immigrants. Harm to one of us is harm to all of us. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED — especially in and around the Gulf of Mexico."
