the Director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition reposting absolute garbage in response to this week's university occupations. unsurprising that blight has signed neither faculty letter in solidarity with doxxed + arrested students
George Packer may be unpopular for this essay but it is right on the mark in my view. For years some ever-enlarging precincts of university curriculums have indeed created a crisis of our own making on campuses. Read and reflect?

Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent:
"This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another."
