Kahlia, such a poignant story. It must be so hard to be an academic or teacher at the moment. A friend teaches politics here in Australia and the students equally resistant to being challenged about the status quo, to consider the possibility that our political system is supporting our collapse,is anything other than democratic… She despairs too… I wonder if it’s too painful for these young students to discuss or think about bc they’re holding themselves together with such thin threads? I thought universities were designed to provoke thought and innovation… but hers at least seems intent on supporting the government of the day … funding is at stake…My friend was given a warning… please take heart from those here and beyond who a face the same lonely struggle. I’m finding this community a blessing.
