Yale Educator Recounts ‘Painful Experience’ of Halloween Email Furor
February 8, 2016 5:01 PM   Subscribe

Erika Christakis (previously and previously) is back, breaking her silence on the eve of the release of her new book. Now with some time and distance from the situation, she reflects: "It was still hard to believe that everyone had been so upset about hypothetical Halloween costumes". She is considering going back to teaching pre-schoolers. Jokingly, she says, "they don't try to get you fired."

This post was deleted for the following reason: She doesn't seem to have anything new to say on the events from last fall and her book doesn't seem to be about that; we had several lengthy threads about her/this and I don't know what's going to be helped by revisiting Christakis still not understanding why the students were protesting. -- LobsterMitten

Maybe that should have been a hint to you that you didn't fully appreciate the situation, lady.
