People talk about campus protests as though the university is some place set apart from the "real world." As though their consent and gleeful support for harming students who exercise 1A on campus isn't directly undermining our rights to speak truth in public or the press.

AHA and much of the discipline has shielded its reactionary elements with an air of liberalism. We are exposing and upending that, asserting the significance of the historical discipline. If it can’t identify and counter a genocide as it unfolds, what purpose does it serve?
