So proud to get to work with @LSongRichardson and @ColoradoCollege. Such a courageous decision that embodies the CC spirit. Glad to have helped with this.

I'm doing a round-up today of the state laws that ban "divisive concepts" and mandatory diversity training in public universities. Focusing on the real-world, on-campus effects of these laws so far. Anyone in Oklahoma, Iowa, Tennessee have thoughts?
