This sub attempts to create a ~neutral place where participants may discuss CW topics without tribal turf-defending and finger-pointing. This sub is not as heavily moderated as others, but it is definitely not a free-for-all.

Text posts with context only. Explain how your submission relates to the Culture War and attempt to do so without sneering. "Why do I have a bad reaction to this?" is far better than "Look at this idiot."

Violations of Saidit-wide rules will result in bans

See the Victorian Sufi Buddha Lite comment policy: comments should be at least two of {true, necessary, kind}.

This subreddit is for discussing culture war, not for waging it.

If you're posting a topic outside of the low-effort thread, include a link and some context.

If you submit a piece from a writer whose primary purpose seems to be to score points against an outgroup, do at least one of three things: acknowledge it, contextualize it, or best, steelman it.

Don't ruin the discussion for everyone else.

If you see moderator activity you disagree with, feel free to reply to the comment, contact the mods privately, or reply anonymously by reporting the comment (put something in the "breaks CWR's rules -> Other" field.

Rutherford County Schools Tell Parents Not to Monitor Their Child’s Virtual Classrooms

Parents of students who attend Rutherford County Schools (RCS) must agree not to monitor their child’s online classroom sessions.

Officials at all county schools are asking parents to sign forms agreeing not to watch these virtual classes.

The Tennessee Star received a copy of such a form this week.

“RCS strives to present these opportunities in a secure format that protects student privacy to the greatest extent possible, however because these meetings will occur virtually RCS is limited in its ability to fully control certain factors such as non-student observers that may be present in the home of a student participating in the virtual meeting,” according to the form.

“RCS strongly discourages non student observation of online meetings due to the potential of confidential information about a student being revealed.”

The form asks parents for their signature and warns that “violation of this agreement may result in RCS removing my child from the virtual meeting.”

To invert an old bromide, if they're this paranoid maybe we should be out to get them?
