Reactionary reaction to racism
What kind of reactionary reaction is that? Can Bethel not learn the lessons taught this year at our St. Cloud outpost up the Mississippi River? Why has no one at Bethel yet verbalized the assumption that the graffiti writer must be a member of the campus �community?� Where are the cries of �nostra culpa,� uttered as the mantra of collective guiltists? Why has not Bethel yet commissioned four separate �cultural audits" of the campus? Where are the invitations to sue the college for institutional racism? Why must we wait to hear of new mandatory �diversity training� for all faculty and staff?
