➸ Webmuskie: Why Wesleyan University needs a little visit from the disability community

webmuskie:

I like to learn, and and so I’ve been hanging out on moocs. For several months I’ve been eagerly awaiting the start of a class on Coursera, from Wesleyan University, titled “Social Psychology”. I’m a big fan of the field of social psychology, because it is of immediate, practical, survival value…

Signal boosting this. Enraging stuff. 

For those wondering the thread that got deleted was in the General discussion board and titled What protections exist with regard to “peer assessments”.

All posts by the original poster and supporters have been removed, leaving only the people who were either directly attacking her or explaining the course material to her.

Apparently it’s okay to call her a whiney crybaby but not okay to speak out against discrimination.
