It's mind boggling to me that this Twitter fight gone wrong is a bigger deal to people than the lack of scientific rigor in Boaler's work.

No, the point is that the fight undermines Boaler’s use of the racism / equity card which she uses in response to critics of her work.

Oh, I missed the context: https://stanfordreview.org/boaler-professor/. I didn’t realize Boaler had a history of doing that (though I guess I’m not surprised). Prof. Nelson sounds like a champion.
