RUHA BENJAMIN AND PRINCETON FACULTY WITNESSES SPEAK OUT ON CLIO HALL SIT-IN (excerpted)
That last paragraph is powerful.
""Most Americans have never seen school closures because of Islamist attacks. There are Persians/ Iranians who escaped Iran and walk among you. Ask them how it was. It smells the same. Let me just tell you a few things. It is NOT about Jews. It is NOT about Israel. It is NOT about "Free Palestine!" This is foreign powers trying to bring down America. You MUST understand this. China. Russia. Iran's regime. They see weakness in American leadership and they are trying to topple this country. How? By creating CHAOS where people are most vulnerable. Our top schools. That's how it started in Iran. "Intellectuals" thinking they are standing up for a cause- for human rights, all the while being manipulated by paid actors. Communists. Islamists. Socialists. Propelled by social media. TikTok. Instagram. Meta. And now, illegal immigrants who have nothing to do and those who love to see destruction, like from Pakistan. Unfortunately, this will get a lot worse until after our elections. The foreign powers want to ensure America never becomes great again and stays engaged fighting multiple proxie wars all over the world, while China gets ready to swallow Taiwan. What is the anwser? 1- We must understand what is happening. Read this and talk to your Persian friends who escaped the Revolution of 1979. I'm sorry to say, but we have been warning you and we understand things you just don't. 2- We must all stick together. Do not allow them to divide us. We must stay strong against these barbaric acts on campuses. They have no room there. We respect all people- Muslim, Jews, Christians, and all people, but there must be no encampments and no violence and no blocking students from going to classes, and no threatening any groups or teachers. These incompetent presidents must be fired! 3- The police and the National Guard should be brought in to clean up campuses so our children can get back to school. 4- Be vigilant. Report criminal activity. Law enforcement must be alerted over and over again. 5- We need to DEFUND the defund-the-police movement. We need our cops! We need our police. Talk to them. let them know you appreciate them. Give to your local police. 6- Vote RED! The entire world needs to move away from woke agenda, radical Leftist ideology and move to the Right which at this point is the center. 7- Do NOT stay silent. Speak up. These bullies feed on those who remain quiet. Show them they are NOT welcome and will not be tolerated. 8- Stay positive. WE WILL WIN! I promise you, this is the end of the madness that started with the pandemic. Next year things will get much much better- but until then, God bless America and all that is right with this beautiful country.""

We should be wary of identity politics to place value in the attainment of group traits, where belonging to a group bestows epistemic or moral superiority.
In the lengthiest article we've published, Tylor attempts to give an account of the recent spate of campus protests that have resorted to violence and the no platforming of speakers.
"We may have all the abstract and technological prowess in the universe, but if we lack soul, we’ll lose the spark of divinity, and perhaps ourselves. Religious conceptions just might be the key to resolving the disparities between groups and individuals while safeguarding the distinction between the two."
Helen Benedict: Capitulation at Columbia
Fear and Loathing Under the New Rules On September 17, 2025, one month before I was to teach my annual social justice reporting class at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, the campus lowered its flag to half-mast in honor of far-right pontificator Charlie Kirk. Nobody deserves to be murdered, as Kirk was, but to honor a man of his White supremacist, Christian nationalist,…
