Funny how things come around. I was at a conference years ago when one of the group’s founders, Robert Jenson, a theological giant of Lutheranism, was all gaga about the book, “Conversations with Poppi about God: An Eight-Year-Old and Her Theologian Grandfather Trade Questions,” he had written with his granddaughter. That was Solveig Lucia Gold, and he would have been very proud of her.
Peralta is a fraud— if he doesn’t like the university, why doesn’t he leave? It’s like the priest who wants to convert his parishioners to atheism while he’e more than happy to accept the free lunches.
I remember this situation well when it was going on and thought it was ridiculous. I also remember reading this article when first released in 2022, not sure why it appeared again in my feed but I read it again. Still moving. But it would be good to have an update as to what has happened since. Side comment, institutions are only based upon the ethics, beliefs and fortitude of those who lead at the time. That is where Princeton, and many other “institutions of learning” have been failing us in recent years.
You both are heroic for who you are and how you live your life. It’s an incredibly sad statement about Princeton and the academic community in general. Carry on with your love for each other that they can not touch. on
Good grief. A nobody who nobody listens to providing cover for an institutional witch hunt because he needs to grind his gay little axe against someone unrelated whose politics he disagrees with. Does Public Enlightenment's four readers understand how sad it all is?
I'm curious, this article was published over two years ago, but seems to be circulating again, as I've been getting a lot of 'likes' and replies to my original posts. Where did you come across it, if I might ask?
The fundamental and disgusting moral cowardice on display at Princeton and by the vast majority of academia is at the heart of the mental rot of the West. Dr. Katz, stay strong. Continue to exemplify ἀρετή.
I am so sad for Joshua and your difficulties. How wonderful, though, that they have highlighted how perfect you are for each other. I suspect the saying”when G-d closes a door, he opens a window” will be true for you two. I see glorious days ahead.

I’ll keep this short
PU is a sick place
For all of its fancy reputation from administration to faculty to undergraduates there is a stench about it
I know that within each of these groups there are exceptions and good people but they are seemingly in the minority and are cowed

The innermost circle of Hell in Dante’s Inferno was reserved for those who betrayed their benefactors.

Good grief. A senior fellow at a billionaire backed think tank gets fired from his job for misconduct and so the billionaire backed TFP writes about it. Do the folks who read TFP understand this is a gossip rag and public relations outfit for reactionary billionaires? https://open.substack.com/pub/publicenlightenment/p/bari-weiss-brought-to-you-by-billionaires?r=2xd80&utm_medium=ios

Revoke their 501c3 status.
Tax large endowments.
Stop giving overhead on federal research grants.
Stop giving research grants for anything other than actual scientific improvements.
Unfortunately, this story is all too common. My heart breaks for you.
Beautifully written and oh so sad. Princeton persecutors will face their own trial of persecution. A reconning is coming for them!
nd sand when they come begging for money. There’s no way they should be supported or subsidized
Another sad reminder: Liberals don't have friends, they have comrades.
Beware the universities.

If I recall, it showed up in a list of articles recommended for me on my substack home page.
Did Bari Weiss just like it?
Not sure if she liked it, but I could see her recommending it. It was a good column and discussion.
thanks

Beautifully written, this love story. Thank you.

I once loved Princeton.
