So students can be alert to scapegoating divide & conquer tactics, teach outside textbook about Red Scare, "a scorched-earth policy against country’s most progressive forces." Not just McCarthy & Hollywood, it was an attack on Black freedom & labor struggles. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/su...

Mahmoud Khalil's rights should be defended for their own sake, and for his unborn child's sake, but they should also be defended on principle and for all of our sakes. The slope is slippery; the rights are crucial.
