The New York times had an article, as did the Guardian (I tried linking them but my iPad has been acting up, google "hate incidents at Oberlin" for details) it all culminated in classes being cancelled on Monday to address the problem.

I can't start reading too early in the day or I get nothing done. Elizabeth Jane Howard's autobiography is also well worth a read.The Foggy Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052717128048264313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60434935493513740992013-03-05T16:24:02.190+00:002013-03-05T16:24:02.190+00:00Jean, I'm not very good at blogging; but, I fe...Jean, I'm not very good at blogging; but, I feel I must introduce you to The National Catholic Reporter .. established by lay people in USA during Vatican II ...<br />http://ncronline.org<br /><br />I prefer to get news of the Catholic Church from NCR rather than the usual diocesian or popular press.

Golly Jean...Just read the comments from yesterday. Golly Jean, it is your blog!! I think the beauty of the internet age is that we can read about people all over the world and learn about their lives and opinions. If I "unsubscribed" every friend that said something I didn't agree with I would be a very lonely person. The exchange of thoughts and opinions are what stimulates us to form our own. And mine do not have to agree with other people's. Hope you keep expressing your opinion, Jean.<br />Ron in Mexico<br />ron in mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116953864892018638noreply@blogger.com
