“The secret is: you’re not alone.”
That line hit hard in this conversation between Don Lemon and BridgeUSA’s Manu Meel.
Students today aren’t more radical than they used to be—they’re just more afraid: of being graded down, of being socially exiled, of saying the "wrong" thing in the wrong room.
Manu’s story is a reminder that the outrage we see on campus often comes from a loud minority. The real majority? Nervous, quiet, unsure they’re allowed to speak.
Fear is the dominant culture. Courageous listening could change that.
