I would urge all members of the Harvard community to take off their rose-colored glasses and look with unhindered vision at this "march of shame." Fanaticism and bigotry have never been the path to equality, and they cannot be awarded that distinction on October 16.

Why reproduce a free-floating nightmare when the real thing lurks each night for billions of people, unbidden and free of charge...
