Where are the favorite teachers of the lacrosse players?
Do they too feel their foremost duty as teachers--or even as human beings--is to keep quiet when their students are being lynched?
Even if they have to resign in order to speak out--then why don't they resign?
The whole Duke faculty are acting like "good Germans"--not a part of the Holocaust, but simply minding their own business and seeing nothing, and pretending that since they aren't directly involved, they have no responsibility and are innocent of everything.
What a grand legacy and example to leave for future generations of Dukies--NOT!
Duke itself will be remembered most for its abysmal silence.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." (Martin Luther King)
Let's see what they have to say during class. If they remain silent, I hope some students bring up the subject. If they blow it off, then it's clear they've been told to shutup and they're too spineless and worried about their fat salaries and tenure to stand up to the cowardly Brodhead and his cowardly minions.
Good question! I resigned my job as secretary of a church in town after some jealous people (including the pastors wife) railroaded a youth minister and he "resigned" (even though he had no other church to go to) I got up and read a statement to the people there at the meeting. I knew it was coming for a while and had time to prepare a statement. BTW, the youth minister's wife has a beautiful voice and that didn't sit well with the pastors wife who was the "star" of the church.
