Maine frosh co-authors divestment column

Clara Belitiz, from Bowdoin, wrote this along with star science historian Naomi Oretz. I liked the new direction they took: Colleges and universities must divest because, essentially, denial is anti-intellectual and therefore anti-education.

And it is. Of course it is. How many years have we been warning about climate change. A hay-maker argument, that one.

Harvard's board is now outed as anti-science and anti-education! Time to resign, ladies and gentlemen. Give up and go home. Your services are no longer needed.
