I teach in a law school. I have previously recounted some of the provocative measures that I now find it necessary to use in the classroom. To prepare my students to receive an education in law I must first give them remedial instruction in critical and logical reasoning. I find that I must pull weeds out of their minds before anything fruitful can take root there.
One of the most pernicious weeds is the notion that discrimination is inherently evil and unjust. This weed has deep roots in their understanding and character. In fact, they seem to believe that the only person worse than someone who discriminates is someone who judges.
A sign saying "Muslin Common Room" instead of "Muslim Common Room" enraged Muslims on the campus of Williams College — once they realized they should be angry about it.
"I noticed the sign was incorrect when someone forwarded me a picture, and it was funny, especially with the memes people were making — but it quickly turned to anger because it just became emblematic of the ways in which Muslim students on campus have had to fight for the smallest things and get sidelined and accused of being needy," said Minority Coalition co-chairman Amina Awad, a senior, according to the Williams Record.
