#ClassDismissed…@mmstrikesback adds #adjunctsdomatter = #adjunct #hashtagblitz

…did you catch the #ClassDismissed catalog of academic complaints, mostly faculty and with an emphasis on adjuncts? This Facebook timeline message appeared: "Please tweet ‪#‎adjunctsdomatter‬ with ‪#‎classdismissed‬.. I am having one of those epiphany moments. Another good add on option:  #studentsmatter.  Presumably, "anything" refers to education, but what's to keep you from trying unexpected combinations that could prove even more interesting. Here are recent examples (all but one with just #ClassDismissed). What tags would you add? What would  students tweet? K-12 teachers?

Seriously? We are bringing academia down? We are holding it up! #adjunctsdomatter #classdismissed.  — vocemom (@MMstrikesback) May 8, 2014

#ClassDismissed continues to be a powerful expression of endemic race and class bias in higher ed.  — ChristineKaratnytsky (@ckaratnytsky) May 7, 2014
