When listening to people talking about their pain, you’ve got to actually listen and do so respectfully, even when you disagree with what they’re asking for. Probably especially when you disagree. Even more so when you’re one of the people responsible for the speakers’ safety.

The exploitation of this by a publication like the Free Beacon and its ilk is more disturbing to me than most of these texts. Especially the first one.
Yep. But the administrators gave that power to the Free Beacon. They should listen carefully and respectfully, then make the right decisions when the time comes.
I agree. Although I don’t think the first person’s text is anything like the others. It’s just performative outrage by a fascist rag, and it makes me more ill than what some administrator at Columbia is doing.
