[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very concerning to see that the Washington Post has published a falsehood-filled rant cowritten by the TJ parent who is a high-profile Trump voter and the fringe rightwing union-busting lawyer who is suing the school system. It's concerning because the piece has already been shared and reshared over and over throughout the rightwing media ecosystem that runs on misinformation and outrage. This all happens very quickly, and the damage is done. TJ's "brand" as one of America's finest high schools will never recover from being positioned in rightwing social media feeds as an example of something to be mocked and extinguished from American life. TJ students and parents can expect to be abused on social media, the school will likely receive threats, and there may be security issues in the physical world as well. It means a TJ diploma won't mean what it used to. Ask Oberlin students how that works (Oberlin sustained lasting damage to its educational brand as a result of a Fox News campaign against it). Weaponizing TJ-related disputes in the rightwing media ecosystem is a five-alarm fire.[/quote] And this is now at least the third op-ed the Post has published using these same individuals' completely baseless talking points. The lawyer even fed George Will's research assistant/ghostwriter the exact same drivel. Take heart, though: the TJ story never gains traction among the Republican troll armies because it doesn't really fit with the white nationalist and authoritarian narratives Fox News pushes in its quest to weaken democracies.[/quote]
