text: So what do we know, based on the G&M articles:
  - he made the comment
  - the students launched a protest, with several "demands"
  - Massey acted or began action on three of the four of those demands
  - there is no indication that Massey took *any* action on the fourth demand, that the Fellow's relationship with the college be ended
  - the Fellow apologized swiftly or immediately, & then resigned, but protested a lack of due process
  
  What we *don't* KNOW is the Fellow's intent, or what due process he felt was lacking.
  
  I think those are all the facts.
  
  So all the hysteria that follows in these Comments about communism or political correctness or whatever, are, to say the least, uninformed & knee-jerk. Chill, folks.
  
  What we *do* know, in addition to the above, is that these times, & this climate, are even less appropriate than they ever were for "humour" about racial history, or any other history of bigotry, discrimination, & violence against population groups.
