Sad day, again, for the college. As a moderate swing voter, I will add: a sad day for the Republican recruiting effort as well. Inviting Charles Murray back to Middlebury College is almost like kids throwing rocks at a nest to demonstrate how angry the hornets are. It’s pretty clear to outsiders this is a deliberate, and simple, attempt to create controversy. Why? Because the student body hasn’t reacted this way to any other speaker; their discontent is clear. Rather than antagonize, bring to the stage some serious topics with the goal of solving complex problems and making the world a better place. That’s the first step in swaying some would-be Republicans over to your side. Until then, don’t forget the Golden Rule and “Be Nice To Each Other Out There People.”
