...made the lives of children and adults alike a living nightmare, he dismisses them as “highly charged” and “controversial.” That life inside a refugee camp is hard is “irrefutable,” according to Mr. Bronshtein??just don’t let those who actually live there remember, interpret, and struggle against that reality. Should their speech rights be suspended along with the rest of their freedoms...

Having closely followed the debate over the T-shirts on Cambridge Common and other forums of student discussion, I can confidently state that the average protester also supports Spencer Gifts?...
...only because the T-shirt image is stereotypical that it is offensive to some people, but also because it is reminiscent of racist propaganda that caused substantial harm to Asian-Americans who lived during a less enlightened period in the past. In the absence of an illustration, Bronshtein??s incomplete description of the T-shirts is misleading to readers who have never seen the T-shirts before...
