Another response to Jerry Falwell, Jr.

“… let us agree to work together to end all acts of violence and build a safer world.
That will not happen by calling students to arms. It will come by having the courage to create spaces where persons from different faiths, nationalities and races feel respected and safe enough to risk seeing the humanity in the other. It will come by being humble enough to recognize our own contributions to the world’s conflicts. It will come by training our students with analytical tools and skills to address the root causes of violence.
Let us offer hope to the world, instead of more reasons for others to hate us.

Daryl Byler’s op-ed is so worth reading, here:
