Well put Travis. At the end of the day I truly believe that we need to find a way to help victims feel free to speak but also demand evidence of their accusations. Also we need to look at the severity of the issue and act accordingly. Was this on the level of Wienstien or Cosby? I too don't have the answers. As someone who survived a suicide attempt I know for sure how dark a place Ed entered, and it sickens me that people found joy in putting him in that place.
This spoke to me in a different way. I have shared a similar sentiment with my students in terms of your 6 issues with cancel culture/the court of public opinion.
For some reason I was also drawn to read Ed's note yesterday, and I've run into similar fears in teaching, where allegations of literally anything can end the path I've dedicated my life to, and had to watch and walk on eggshells in every interaction with a student out of fear of context.
I wholeheartedly agree that both can and should be true, and instead of rushing for our torches and pitchforks, let legal issues work their way through the legal system, and we as individuals can make our judgements after a judge or jury have decided to do so.
