right now tent state probably has the full support of around 50-60% of the student body and partial support of another 20-30%. What this essay proposes is to diminish that support to nothing - which is where the support for the fascist, racist and homophobic nonsense stands - i say we leave it there.
the right wing has little to no active support on campus - why should we give them a platform? the student body and the press will not see a confrontation as between anti-fascists and fascists but between the extreme right and extreme left and they will tune it out. already many students who support tent state refer to those who actively participate as 'they' - meaning that the larger student body does not feel a part of it - that is the central problem to deal with.
