The administration of Macalester
removed a zine from the racks of the Campus Center this week, then calling the
charter members of the Macalester Peace and Justice Coalition (MPJC) to explain
the action; the MPJC funded the zine, according to its back cover. Members of
the administration objected to the zine’s two-page, unsigned letter that said,
among other things, “The real outrage is that [Macalester’s President
Rosenberg] still has windows unbroken and tires unslashed.” The administration
felt that the letter was threatening (and, while opinion here is mixed on that,
we must admit we don’t really see how
such a sentence forwards the mission of peace and justice.) Anyhoo… as far as
we can tell, the MPJC isn’t spilling the beans.
