...courthouse. Like the Horace Mann case, featuring vicious Facebook groups aimed at high school teachers, Venkatesan’s move to a lawsuit and book deal represent a failure of reconciliation within the classroom. Student-teacher arguments are nothing new, of course, but these escalated clashes still suggest a lack of mutual respect and an inability to resolve disagreements amicably. Venkatesan would have done well to bring her grievances to a university administrator before searching for an attorney...

At the U.S. Olympic Committee's biennial pre-Games media summit in April, swimmer Michael Phelps, Team USA's most visible and celebrated Olympian, was asked if he felt any responsibility to speak out against injustice. He answered with a rambling evasion. Others offered direct, though disappointing, replies. "That's a lot of responsibility, to ask an athlete to not only represent your country and perform and try to win a gold meal, and to have a political view," said U.S. women's soccer star Abby...
