Our well-connected friend reports from the little protest in Durham. My favorite part had to be this:
[Shabazz] announced he would lead his para-military goons onto the Duke campus and he turned to do so. He immediately bumped into two black Duke staffers who told him he and his para-military goons could NOT enter Duke because ?our students are stressed out over exams and your presence will add undue stress to their lives.?
Heavens to Murgatroyd but this period of academe is replete with wonderful absurdity! That “undue stress” part is straight out of the president’s email, by the way. It strikes me as excuse-fishing ? with an unsettling slippery slope.
