Devastating reporting at Smith College. God help you if you’re a janitor with poor eyesight or a cafeteria worker with lupus—merely following instructions and stuck in your material reality—and you happen to collide with a student’s personal truth.

If I found out my child attending a $78k/year school pulled social rank on a janitor and a chronically sick kitchen worker to the point that the latter was being mobbed and unable to find employment a year later, I would be so ashamed I couldn't sleep until it was rectified.
And if I were the president of @smithcollege, I would not be able to sleep until these economically marginalized workers were made whole.
so much for all of the targets of cancel culture being billionaire authors and social elites...
(and this is genuine cancel culture––it started from a one-sided, evidently fantastical facebook post––and it led to a real-life mobbing of two vulnerable workers who couldn't defend themselves and found no defense from their institution, one of whom is now long-term stigmatized)
