PSA: No one in my network owes anyone answers about their relationship or lack thereof with @Alphaschool. Just Say No to Witch Hunts. It's unfortunate that some are treating Alpha as some kind of existential threat and harassing employees. Harassing everyone I ever worked with is worse, of course, but some Alpha naysayers appear to lack awareness of the boundaries of appropriateness. I hope everyone opts out of engagement with such behaviors. Also, I'm going to fiercely defend the right of people to contribute at Alpha behind the scenes, precisely because of the bullying and harassment. I developed a thick skin during the pandemic, when I was repeatedly bullied for wanting American schools to reopen (as they had in Europe, Florida, the US sun belt, many smart suburbs of NYC like Scarsdale and Bronxville, I-could-go-on). Many tried to cancel me then, and while it was immensely stressful, it prepared me to ignore the trolls and haters when I was on the right side of an issue. I don't expect everyone to have a similar tolerance for online abuse, hence my protectiveness of my brilliant colleagues (the ones at Alpha and the ones not at Alpha; obviously, most are in the latter camp).
