Was in Princeton the other day for kid’s basketball camp. Camp was great — very well run, high level of play, but the town was, for lack of a better term, extremely vaccinated.

Was a Free Palestine protest (which is fine IMO), but it occurred to me there would never in a million years have been an mRNA mandate protest there. They only protest what they’re allowed to protest, that to which “good” people are permitted to object.

Elite colleges are museums to critical thought and earnest inquiry. The forms are all there — beautiful buildings, large libraries, giant old trees, but the spirit is dead.
