Вот, кстати, вчерашний твит.

Это не кто-то, а губернатор Техаса отвечает профессору, который говорит, что перестал преподавать в Техасе из-за закона, позволяющего студентам иметь оружие на кампусах, в том числе и в университетских аудиториях.

Most professors are already afraid to discuss hard ideas. Many just regurgitate liberal dogma. They fear conservative ideas & free speech. https://t.co/hnhnHCPu1H

He missed nothing. You should have read the whole text, instead of the first phrase.

Prof asked a question - "How do you know concealed carry hasn't changed how professors approach discussions about hard ideas?"

Abbot answered that question, - "Most professors are already afraid to discuss hard ideas. Many just regurgitate liberal dogma. They fear conservative ideas & free speech."

Могу Вам перевести:

Профессор: с каким удовольствием я бы занимался физическим трудом!
Губернатор: да ты в жизни ничего тяжелее вилки в руки не брал.
Вы: не понимаю, при чем тут вилка, если профессор делает такое важное утверждение о труде?

You should have read the whole text

Or maybe you should, instead of cherry picking. Prof says, basically, that discussing hard ideas gets a whole new meaning when there's one or two trigger-happy hotheads with guns in the room, and not everyone is a fan.

Look, it doesn't matter. I can't see this conversation going literally anywhere interesting. I'd rather explain something this simple to a child: at least with a child you can be reasonably sure they don't just wilfully spin everything they don't like in their favor, that they actually don't get it. And not because they're remarkably thick, but because they're young.

You, on the other hand... Well. Let's agree to disagree.

Pardon, but it wasn't "cherry-picking", it was quoting.

"I'd rather explain something this simple to a child:"

Sure. But you need to understand it first, in order to explain it, no?
