I actually had a follow-up question. You have been an activist alongside the students in the pro-Palestine movement, kind of become the, I'd say, the professorial face of this movement at Princeton. And because of your stance, you've been suspended.
And that is what you're talking about when you're talking about Black administrators and the protests against genocide, etc., in the light of diversity and inclusion. Can you speak more about that? Because you're putting your career on the line. Absolutely. There's people out there who are like, what's Palestine got to do with you? So I'm really curious about that.
I'm curious, Ruha, as like Trevor teases me all the time because I'm a bit of a champagne socialist, right? So I'm always very curious about the people that it goes from theory, like you write all these books, to actual praxis. Like you are on probation right now. You know, you're not working because of what you believe in.
What is it about you and your history that means you're like, oh, this can't just be what I write about. It has to be what I live.
Yeah, it's interesting that you mentioned elementary school students because I thought of little expelled Trevor. But I must clearly state I should have been expelled.
And one thing that struck me about what you said, they should have created a space where Demon Trevor could have thrived. And I'm just... I would love for you to kind of speak a lot more about your abolitionist politics, because I think that is the thread that runs through everything you believe, whether it's Israel and Palestine, reproductive justice...
how we approach universities, you kind of have this worldview that everyone can kind of be redeemed and fixed. And that kind of starts in the childhood arena of how we do elementary school, which I'm really curious about because I'm currently going through the process of trying to get a little Trevor.
So I'd love to know more of that because you have this very compassionate, I think, lens on the Trump voter that people may be surprised that someone like yourself has because no one thinks about the fact that, oh, these people do love their children and it's expressed by this antagonist. So I'd love to hear it.
Yeah, you got a free day.
Trevor, you're so traumatized. We're traumatized African kids.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah.
He's saying AI can't gaslight us. No, no, no, no.
Right, right.
No.
Amazing.
Yeah. I get what you mean. But you know me. I'm just scared of the machines.
Yeah, no, I completely understand.
