Lucía Martínez, an assistant professor of English at Reed College, posted a comment on an article about the Peirce shutdown in which she confessed that these students terrify her.
“I am intimidated by these students,” she wrote.
“I am scared to teach courses on race, gender, or sexuality, or even texts that bring these issues up in any way—and I am a gay mixed-race woman. There is a serious problem here and at other [selective liberal arts colleges], and I’m at a loss as to how to begin to address it, especially since many of these students don’t believe in either historicity or objective facts.”
