Campus protests unnerved me, but still shouldn't be shut down
I am a well-meaning student who is trying to take what I am given and come to my own conclusions. This incident highlighted how entrenched ideologies have caused a categorical intellectual backslide in our society, especially regarding this conflict. That is the opinion I will always hold and one that is missing in the discourse about this conflict. We need to engage with the pluralistic values that make our country a beacon of freedom, making compromise and civil discourse a priority. Preeti Kulkarni (preeti.kulkarn@gwu.edu) is a student at George Washington University.
