      I'm sure Yale has a few ne-'er-do-wells but most students will be insulated from the effects of economic turmoil, war, etc. A safe space.

          @HeerJeet Women still at risk of sexual assault in Ivy League communities. This only applies to white heterosexual men.

          @HeerJeet 'will be insulated from' ... They'll insulate themselves with marketable skills or they'll suffer same as anyone else.

          @HeerJeet It's a combo of that and the "progressive left's" abandonment of class. The majority of political tumblrs don't mention it at all.

          @HeerJeet I think, from working w/students,risk of psychic violence for non-white students is profound.
