...students need to do, instead of simply pressuring the administration to make changes, is to take the initiative in reforming our own education.

Efforts such as these must be pursued in a wider variety of fields, not simply to provide alternatives to the ideas expressed in Harvard classes but to provide students with greater opportunities to teach and learn from each other and to experiment with...
Buchanan and other white Americans are to excuse themselves from the collective responsibility they have by virtue of their membership in the dominant ruling majority, since they individually did nothing to deserve such "burdens."
