@MiracleUbik @Doug_D_Stuart I’ll save this as I am only 200 pages in.

THIS is reality. People attacking this school are defending the way things were. Which was much, much worse. But what do the critics care? They get to feel good.
I see Edutwitter is talking about corridors this weekend. Let’s just remind ourselves of what this school was like before it was taken over by its current leadership. I’ll take bland walls if it means students are now safe and teachers can now teach

If you want community centres then fund them. If you want local social/health services then fund them. If you want local childcare services then fund them. Don’t underfund Public Libraries then force Library Workers to take on these roles. #letlibrariesbelibraries
There is considerable debate about institutional neutrality in the UK and Ireland as well. AFAF will be organising a major debate about this in the near future.
The way for colleges and universities to “fight once more on the side of the angels” is for reformers to first courageously champion the virtues we want to see restored in higher education. More from President Peter Wood in our latest report: nas.org/reports/the-il…
