This is exactly it.
This is because NCTE complied with fascists and has a partnership with Google, while CCCC continued to advocate for anti-racism and caution against AI.
I just emailed [email protected] to request a refund and you should, too.
Absolutely devastating.

NCTE has just summarily killed a 77-year-old organization that has shaped how writing is understood, taught, and learned, in higher education in particular. No member involvement. No transparency. No process to speak of.
With friends and fellow educators like these, I guess who needs enemies.

Here it is, folks. @ncte.org Executive Committee votes to "de-charter its special topics conference CCCC," i.e., to shitcan the Cs.

Disgraceful behavior, @ncte.org
Dear @ncte.org, I know your policy is that you don't refund memberships, but I don't trust your current leadership as far as I could kick Godzilla anymore, and I don't want them to have access to one penny of my membership money so they can hurt more people with it.

I am actually not sure how to communicate how weird it is that Lalas is on this panel. Henry and Ibrahimovic are two of the best forwards of the past 20 years; Lalas peaked at Padova, a club that hasn’t been in Serie A since the Clinton administration www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

The world we know was built on mass killings, weaponised disease, sexual violence, cultural erasure, and slavery.
