Hey #classicstwitter were you aware that there are whole communities of people studying the Classics outside of academia? There is a whole group of people on various social medias studying Latin on their own.... #latinteach

Okay, so apparently I tweeted wrong. Let's try this one more time.

#classicstwitter #latinteach These communities can be great. they can also spout ignorance and hate. Right now, they have the nearly ONLY voice on the platforms our students visit most often: TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

#latinteach #classicstwitter FB mods are doing what they can, but it needs all of us. We need to do the work and get our voices out there. Classics IS out there.... and it includes some real ugliness including white supremacy and misogyny.

#latinteach #ClassicsTwitter I hope just as many (and more ) who liked the first tweet will like, retweet, and act upon these latter tweets and help stop the stupidity and educate those trying to learn themselves.
