Universities must teach students how to listen across lines of difference, Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock argues. Otherwise, "young people risk becoming more isolated, more easily manipulated, and less prepared to lead in a pluralistic democracy."
How to Think, Not What to Think
College is not just about transmitting knowledge—but learning and practicing the skills that connect us to one another.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.
The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
