Thank you! As someone who has been in the South for a decade (PhD at GA tech, now at a public SLAC in SC) I get so tired of hearing people write off the South as some kind of political wasteland when it’s full of people of color and urban centers having their votes suppressed. Look at GA. Not to mention the vital legacy and current culture of resistance to fascism and white supremacy in the South which brings conversations about race and racism into everyday discourse in ways that people in other parts of the country (like the NE, where I’m from) rarely engage with as openly and directly. The South is politically complex, like every region, but if you write it off because of right wing politics, where does that leave all the people who are working to resist?

Well, let's please consider civility here and the fact that people often find themselves working in political environments which they did not create/endorse. How would we have felt if someone had said, in response to a friendly circulation of a job ad at our university, that no one "of quality" would work for a public university in a country that would elect Trump? We should support our colleagues in tough situations that are not of their making and think about how educators are supporting democracy in challenging times. Sarah

I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine anyone of quality applying to a public institution in a state with a failed Trumpster press secretary as a governor.
