Rothfeld: Downright Denial
This week, a group of concerned Dartmouth students released a “Freedom Budget.” The document comprises a list of demands on an administrative regime heretofore remiss in its treatment of minority communities. It calls for gender-neutral bathrooms, the institution of mandatory social justice seminars and harsher punishments for hate crimes, among other reforms. Although many of the specific proposals outlined in the “Freedom Budget” are impracticable, mainstream Dartmouth has showcased its immaturity in harping on the specific details of a document that represents, above all, an important call for change.
