“A recent viral tweet (it has 8.6 million views) inspired by controversy over anti-Israel activism on college campuses asserts that ;[a] good law of history is that if you ever find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you are wrong. Every single time. In every era. No matter the issue.; Most admirers of student political activism don’t go so far as to say student movements are always in the right.

Sadly, the answer is ‘no.'” (04/26/24)
