Intro
I just wanna preface that of all institutions ravaged by foids in the 21st century, none have been hit harder than higher ed. Terminal foid "empathy" is one of the leading causes of cultural decay and the reason why virtues like "personal responsibility" have greatly flown out the window over the years. I think it is absolutely fitting and telling that the lead antagonist in Harrison Bergeron is a foid.
The culture of higher ed has increasingly become one where weakness and disability of both the physical and mental variety are exhalted over strength and health. Its not a coincidence that your average liberal arts PhD student from 2013-present lists their illnesses in their twitter bio like its badge of honor. Its gotten so bad lately that a surprising number of young college foids have been observed walking with a cane as of late, for example.
With academia being a bastion of conformity and cowardice, few have dared to speak out about this toxic, feminine-skewed phenomenon other than the author of this piece, Alan Levinowitz. To sum up the juicy bits of the article, theres been a sharp uptick in disabled-identified students attending universities in recent years. Studies have shown that a significant number of students who claim to have or have been diagnosed by a clinician with ADHD and/or other similar r-sluration that makes one elligible for special accommodations are likely exaggerating or bullpooping. Of course, accommodations are given in the vast majority of cases because admins are a mix of too bogged down with requests to scrutinize them and are afflicted with wokeitis. This has lead to some rather scandalous developments where it was found that a disproportionate number of top achieving students were receiving disability accommodations.

It's a very controversial topic, to say the least, and inspires strong opinions. I hope this will help shift the conversation in a productive direction:https://t.co/UvmBozA0ne
Our brave author dared to promote his article on twitter anticipating MASSIVE seethe, and boy was he right! Lots of fine examples of humanity BTFOing his problematic eugenic butt.

Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Darn. You really thought you were cooking here when you posted this, didn't you?

An extremely ignorant point of view. Incredibly disrespectful towards disabled people.
Your privilege is showing.
This raging (L)user is implied to have Long Covid based on the link in bio. Also retweets mutual AIDS requests from 
archists.
The fact that you actually thought you ate with this. π€¦πΌββοΈ

Misinformation like this does real, measurable harm to a subset of marginalized people who already have enough barriers to face.
Iβm confident you can do better, and hope you take the responsibility to do so seriouslyβ¦
I dont like what the article says, therefore MISINFORMATION!

Pro-dysgenic meme account doesnt approve, what a shocker!
What a joke of a piece. You have not engaged with recognized experts in the field, and you have not engaged with disabled people. Itβs no wonder your take is so factually off-base. I wouldnβt even know where to begin in terms of calling out the issues, there are too many

This Analyst-Antiracist-Antipatriarchist-AntiTERF-Antiableist-Anticolonialist-Abolitionist-Anticapitalist believes the author is wrong because he has not considered LIVED EXPERIENCES enough and did not consult with the right (((experts))) on the subject.
Why is it always the people who consider themselves the ultra rational super correct especially enlightened types who publicly expose themselves as complete and utter hacks, and still seem to lack the self-awareness that they are doing so?

Ok, I can say this person is convincingly mentally disabled with their own clear lack of self awareness.
Epilogue: 
@TracingWoodgrains has entered the chat
Amidst the onslaught of hate heaped on this epic TRVKE was a nod of approval by our elite dramatard operative @TracingWoodgrains:
An important article, and the wave of outraged replies only underscores its value and the merit in writing it. The state of accommodations in universities is a mess. You cannot make effective exams where a large fraction of students have more time to work with than others. https://t.co/1SCZYJqCgP pic.twitter.com/Bd2JSdLRUE

As Trace didnt experience quite the same level of deluge of criticism aimed at the author, he had more capacity to engage with his haters:
Trace even dropped some TRVKEs of his own:
chats with a certain sort of disability rights advocate is kinda wild bc you'll say things like "It seems like a problem that extra time sharply increases LSAT scores in a zero-sum setting" and they'll respond with "so you think people with ADHD are unworthy of higher ed?" pic.twitter.com/jkfQuOJUHr

In law school, you're graded on a forced curve against your classmates. The traditional form of finals are timed issue spotters, where you are given fact patterns and asked to identify as many legal issues as possible in a set period of time. I'm sure it's completely coincidental, but 8 of the 10 highest ranked students after my 1L year had 50% bonus time on their exams.
