Support Nationwide Student Strike, Feb. 15 2007

To My Academic Colleagues: In the Faculty and Student Body—I Invite You to Incite!

I am a visiting assistant professor of German at the University of Illinois-Chicago. And I am tired of pretending that we, as academics, intellectuals, professors, teachers and instructors are not complicit by our silence and our refusal or inability to provide leadership and guidance to our students in resisting the illegal war in Iraq.

Students at UC - Santa Barbara have initiated a one day student strike against the war on February 15th. Students at Columbia University, UC - Berkeley, Sonoma State, Occidental College, Fordham University, San Francisco State, University of North Carolina - Greensboro; and Columbia College (Chicago) are planning rallies, walk-outs, and/or strikes on their campuses February 15th.

February 15th marks the 4th anniversary of when millions of people came out around the world to protest Bush's planned war on Iraq. In the wake of Bush's escalation of a war that has already caused the deaths of 655,000 Iraqis and over 3,000 US soldiers, and threats to attack Iran, this student strike is urgently needed, and must spread to other campuses quickly. Now is not the time to be waiting for Congress to make slow incremental steps towards some eventual phased withdrawal. Now is the time for millions of people to get out and demand an end to the war immediately.

Words to live by

What I want to see and I what I think the Internet is really evolving to is this idea that taking these things that we've done offline for centuries and millennia and bringing it in a way that is compatible with our daily lives. We live in e-mail, we live in front of the computer, we live with our cell phones. But we have to figure a way to work all these things in together.
