Really too bad but the man I knew taught me to only punch up. That with the privilege of education was the obligation to speak up for the marginilzed and exploited not to help kick them while they are down. That we have a duty of care to not fan the flames of bigotry; to give a voice to those who do not have one, not a stage to those who wish to continue to embolden the voices of racism and hate. Shame on you. We have the right to be free from hateful speech in this country not the right to say whatever the fuck we want.
