Under today’s assumptions, it isn’t enough to teach history. History incorporates things outside the aegis.

Administrators and professors at North Carolina State University have come to the support of embattled Prof. Philip Muñoz.

On Thursday, Feb. 28, North Carolina State University Prof. Phillip Muñoz’s political science class on “Law and Justice” was interrupted by a group of black students.

The group never spoke, not even to respond to the professor’s repeated invitations to state their case. They were there to offer support, or better stated, intimidation, on behalf of a black student upset about the class.
