Summarization
In response to a viral video of a fight between two students, McCormickProf and other Twitter users discussed interventions from other students and adults, long-term solutions such as emphasizing family values, strict discipline, and avoiding violent media and video games, as well as the breakdown of law and order in comparison to previous generations. They agree that the destruction of family values, lack of discipline and lack of fathers, as well as lack of repercussions, are at the root of today's social pathologies. The conversation also discussed how the rise of cell phone cameras has changed the perception of violence in school and how private schools are able to enforce standards of behavior.

| 1624763199944785921 | @McCormickProf @Timcast We can start this conversation by looking at communities where such ruthless brutality is rare or non-existent. It involves strong families; strict discipline at school, and no watching of violent movies/playing violent video games where brutality is cheered and/or the aim. | 11 |
| 1624102234597527552 | Iโll ask again the question @McCormickProf was unwilling to answer. Where is the threat to free speech coming from here? The contingent faculty who sought a say in their own collegeโs public programming, or the far-right media moguls organizing a targeted harassment campaign? https://t.co/Z7ZkJIdgWW | 6 |
| 1626703034595115010 | @McCormickProf You're right. @calvinrobinson is a good guy, and doesn't hesitate to proclaim his faith. | 4 |
| 1625502826989486085 | Update on the Amy Wax case quoting the AFA's Janet Halley and @McCormickProf. "Statements on issues of law and public policy" and "inviting a controversial speaker" are "unquestionably protected by academic freedom," Halley wrote on behalf of AFA. https://t.co/nAo1ApJyV4 | 3 |

| 1624162796517613576 | This @SBTSBookstore event with @albertmohler and @McCormickProf was one of the most fascinating conversations Iโve ever been apart of. We discussed the Christian mind, faith and culture, conservatism, institutions, the importance of hope and joy, and more. https://t.co/0MmhZ3lF8D | 3 |
| 1625178088773500937 | @Alex_T_Young @McCormickProf @CornelWest @TPUSA I'm now guessing I've been muted. Linking to a @realDailyWire seems like a bad choice to me given @benshapiro & @MattWalshBlog's decision to target a hospital & the owner of @NashvilleSC. Here's more on that.

| 1624118528667156499 | "Am I unwilling to stand with Christ by proclaiming his truths? The days of comfortable Christianity are past." @McCormickProf https://t.co/tNztd3gIL8 https://t.co/aYeVzKsDtp | 2 |
| 1623801436562771968 | Edited by @andrewtwalk, these thoughtful essays from Christian evangelical scholars examine the political philosophy and ethics of influential Catholic social conservative scholar @McCormickProf. https://t.co/tNztd3gIL8 https://t.co/tM4b3Dflzd | 2 |
| 1624855214871220227 | @McCormickProf @Timcast I appreciate the fact that respondents to my tweets acknowledged strong families and discipline at schools as factors but reject violent motion pictures/video games as factors because respondents let their kids waste time on the latter so it can't be it's bad. Pssst. It IS bad. | 2 |

| 1624754504301248512 | @McCormickProf Love the concerned reaction by the other students, and the large number of kids that intervened on behalf of their classmate. The โmaleโ students were especially brave. | 207 |
| 1624763199944785921 | @McCormickProf @Timcast We can start this conversation by looking at communities where such ruthless brutality is rare or non-existent.

| 1624608643835662337 | @McCormickProf No one intervenes? Where were the adults? Or at least a mature boy or girl to stop? This is assault and should be treated as such. Shameful | 153 |
| 1624627041608863745 | @McCormickProf Just as barbaric are the students who looked on and filmed and did nothing to stop this. | 112 |
| 1624631249699577856 | @McCormickProf Uh, I saw plenty of teenagers beat the crap out of each other in school back in 80/90s. So maybe another question to ask is: has it always been like this and you just werenโt paying attention because nobody had a camera phone to capture everything? | 74 |
| 1624632396078252032 | @McCormickProf @CHSommers Imagine just sitting there. | 71 |
| 1624719084251394049 | @McCormickProf @CHSommers Why does everyone assume the girl doing the beatdown isn't going to show up in your cozy little private school? | 62 |
| 1624650334407630851 | @McCormickProf Breakdown of law & order. In the 70s - the teacher would step in, the perpetrator expelled, & since Iโm an Army brat, the perp would have been hauled out by the Military Police & her dadโs military career would be in danger. Today? No repercussions. At all. | 50 |
| 1624746223516151814 | @McCormickProf Whew! Good thing no one ever got hurt at school in the previous generations, right Rob? https://t.co/2KMPGK3pJG | 45 |
| 1624760032389636096 | @ETwilbertson @McCormickProf Youโre going to equate the national guard shooting a student versus what kids do to each other and to the teachers? That doesnโt flush | 43 |
