I thought this Martin Luther King Jr. was fitting for this week's events...as we deal with situations and people who bring hate towards us, I think it is important that we bring the light and love of a bigger cause to the situation.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Instead of adding a new thread, I thought I will piggy back on Melissa's note. I was a little surprised by the student reaction to the announcement Sunday night, which has been discussed in a lot of places. An article from Inside Higher Education (see URL below) was interesting in that it brought reality and theory together. It quotes Astin who talks about the idealism of students and how that explains their jubilance at the news.
