      One thing I can never relate to in these controversies: I had lots of strongly held views at 18 to 22. But it never would’ve occurred to me to care what my college’s president thought, let alone to demand that he opine publicly in accordance with what I believed to be right.https://twitter.com/kcjohnson9/status/1062836768918118400 …

      Op-ed criticizes @Wellesley for allowing @EmilyYoffe to speak; demands president issue condemnation of Yoffe's ideas on TIX.

      The part I can’t relate to is why a whole bunch of adults, some with national audiences, are commenting on an oped by a college student in her sophomore year. Let them have their own “strongly held views”.

          I can guarantee she has plenty of classmates who will argue against her and that she doesn't need the national college ideology patrol.

          “We should pay more attention to the voices of the youth and take them seriously.” *empowered college student at prestigious school says something ignorant/insane* “Why do you take them seriously? Shame on you.”

          I commented to express my lack of understanding about a widespread phenomena that was directed, in this case, at a writer that I like. In general, I take the views of college students seriously. No one objects when the topic at hand accords with their sympathies.

          That whole thing with Larry Summers stepping down at Harvard happened just after we graduated (separately, not from harvard), seemed pretty student-driven. And business as usual, ish.

          no need to belittle or undersell a college student.

          I definitely agree that people shouldn’t demagogue college students and that slack should be cut
