People who skew center right on my FB feed are all clutching their pearls like it’s an Olympic sport over student protests, so I posted this.

As a young kid, furiously protesting Apartheid in London, I believed it was the most important thing I could do. It was. (Long story, not here.) I'm beside myself with joy that kids know their duty now as we did then. And disheartened - but not surprised - at the response of The System.

A LOT of cranks on their keyboards of late. Thank you for stating some plain facts to refute their relentless bad-faith nonsense.

I wonder if it were more accurately framed as anti-war rather than pro-Palestinian, if they'd have a different take.

Very well said. This may be a little pie in the sky, but honestly this is the kind of concise summary of a major line of thinking on a controversial subject that the famously evenhanded NYT Opinion page would probably want to publish.
