The new “masculinity” is all the permissiveness and entitlement, none of the responsibility. I am not a fan.

Daily, I become more and more disappointed in my alma mater.

The pride I used to have in saying I was alum of IU is completely gone.

Just a few of the crazies flailing around. Looks like a lot of hand to hand out there.

Just trying to enjoy the show and not get hit.

My take is that, even if it is only 1 student, the ripple effect of that student can multiply the impact.

That's all that I can hope for. And based on the regular updates I get from former students, it.might be working.

No, I go there because it is important & they need to be aware & think about how this relates to the past, or in my polysci class, how it relates to ideas of governance and constitutionalism.

The other teachers in my dept avoid any discussions about current events out of fear of student responses.
