@sleeplessmom1 and @Fisherman99, I’m in no way minimizing what has happened at Cal Poly, but this is not a Cal Poly issue per se. It is an American issue. At my alma mater feces in the form of the N word and swastikas were smeared on bathroom stalls in a dorm several years ago. Last year, the President of the United States equated neo-nazi, white supremacists to those protesting them, saying there were “some very fine people on both sides.” We feel bad, because we want the institutions we care about to be above the fray, but colleges in particular are only products of their constituent students. We are a deeply divided country, with two groups no longer even able to agree on basic scientific truths. We have a lot of work to do, not just as a school, but as a country.
So much for respectfully declining to post any further.
