Description: Written in the aftermath of the student protest that disrupted Charles Murray's lecture on March 2nd, 2017, this article responds to the incident by singling out five courses from Middlebury's catalog that the author deems especially symptomatic of the intellectual climate which (in his view) impaired Murray's exercise of free speech. He describes these courses as "categorically insane." They are overwhelmingly drawn from Middlebury’s Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies program. The courses listed include Laurie Essig's 'Feminist Blogging' and 'White People', Ata Anzali's 'The Qu'ran and the Feminist Subject', C. Thomsen's 'Queering Food: Race, Place, and Social Justice', and Heidi Grasswick's 'Feminist Epistemologies'. Notably, one of these professors had publicly voiced criticism of the student protest at the time of this article’s publication (Ata Anzali, in an editorial for the Addison Independent on March 3rd 2017). Students in one of the classes criticized in the article, 'Queering Food: Race, Place, and Social Justice', composed a zine responding to the article and its reader comments, a physical copy of which can be found in Special Collections. They argue that the author's and commenters' attempts to "simultaneously mock our class as well as broader attempts to name and eradicate racism" demonstrate just as grave a lack of intellectual good faith as that of which the author is accusing the Middlebury protesters.
