I could not be prouder of the students I teach at Princeton. I have an undergraduate course in civil liberties going with about 120 students enrolled. They are brilliant, but that's a secondary reason for my pride in them. We've just spent three weeks addressing profoundly divisive issues, including abortion, euthanasia, and sexual morality and marriage. My students represent a range of points of view on these matters. Some--across the spectrum--hold their convictions quite passionately. Yet in our class discussions they've discussed the issues in a thoughtful, civil, mutually respectful, genuinely truth-seeking spirit. All of them were challenged by readings making the case for ideas they disagreed with. I know this for sure, because I assigned to them the best readings known to me for the competing positions. But instead of allowing themselves to be "triggered" by these challenges, they engaged the work they were assigned, making a sincere and sustained effort to assess fairly the arguments advanced. What more can a teacher ask? How blessed I am to teach these young men and women.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

I once had a lit prof who kept every rejection letter. Wallpapered his house including lampshades with them. We students got a kick out of it. Underscored for us that we had a lot of rejections ahead of us if we were going to be successful writers -- or anything else.@EXPLOLive

Attention writers and academics: If a publication rejects your ms., you now have the option to reject the rejection. (This letter was originally published in - i.e., not rejected by - the British Medical Journal in 2015.)

If you don't follow @shellypalmer, you should. I find his observations and insights on AI up-to-the-moment, wise, succinct, and meaningful. For me, he's a go-to advisor on AI and I look to him for commentary that I find useful for my educational work, business, marketing, etc.
