I've been ...I want to chime in that I care too. I've been publicly fuming over Peretz's remarks since I first learned of them, and am so glad that he won't be given the microphone at this event. <br /><br />We have to speak up someone undertakes to dehumanize one quarter of humanity.

I suppose someone at the lunch will be recording the entire thing on her phone! And then it will end up on YouTube and I will get my own reality show.

I was appalled by the appointment of Martin Peretz to Bard College's board of trustees in 1987, just a month after a colleague Ben Linder was murdered in Nicaragua.
