Just read this good essay by @lint_ax in @Parapraxis_Mag, showing the fantasies of innocence animating campus crackdowns. I also see another motivation: resentment of students (& faculty) as ‘entitled,’ ‘out of control’ &c. Crackdowns are *about* punishment, not just safety.

Hundreds of Yale students are occupying Beinecke Plaza outside a Board of Trustees meeting to demand Yale divest from Israeli weapons manufacturing. “We call on you to listen to our demands. Not only our demands but the same demands that are echoed by the students at Columbia.”

In his study of the Attica Rebellion, @orisanmi interrogates the “programmafication” that occurred after the rebellion, interpreting it as a counterinsurgent program meant to defang and repress radical political education performed by Black prisoners. buff.ly/4cVKEGH
