Crash Course: Columbia crisis: Another massive failure of liberalism

Columbia's president capitulated to the right-wing witch hunt — and only made things worse. Maybe that's a lesson?

My own college graduation, in the mid-1980s, was disrupted by a student walkout over the university’s involvement in nuclear weapons research and its non-divestment from the apartheid regime in South Africa. Strident moral positions and overheated rhetoric are features of student activism, which is sometimes effective and at other times purely symbolic; every generation, it’s fair to say, inherits or creates its own iteration.

From Nathaniel Manderson: Abortion was never a core issue for the evangelical movement until it was seen as a political winner. There was no great outcry from the evangelical churches after Roe v. Wade was decided in the early '70s. It was a full decade later or so when evangelicals came to understand how easy it was to raise money and win elections while blaming all of America's social ills on the evil feminists who want to murder their babies. It didn't matter that no honest Biblical theology backs up this position. In fact, it took almost 40 years for them to come up with some precise cherry-picking of scripture they could use to justify banning abortion. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoEgLfP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZnFhdXozaHdwOC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXgybTd1bm5kYWkmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZifgfS9m90s4HFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).

"Top Chef" makes the case for cabbage From Michael La Corte: Stuffed cabbage isn’t going to prompt yelps of excitement. For some, the cruciferous vegetable has a certain old-world appeal, buoyed by economic practicality and nostalgia. For others, it’s a bit drab (and the aroma of boiled cabbage isn’t especially appetizing either). But in so many instances — certainly including Sarah’s and Danny’s — there’s a type of unvarnished appeal to the durable cabbage leaf, which can be seasoned and heightened in many ways. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoEgLfP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvOGpmdGkydmFqNS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXgybTd1bm5kYWkmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZifgfS9m90s4HFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
