Dear Friends at poetryetc
I have just read and signed the online petition:
"In Support of David Graeber"
hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/dgraeber/
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself. In brief, the "lack of collegiality" given as a reason for not extending his contract refers to his support of graduate union organizers and his anarchist opinions (which he did not, as an anthropologist, actually attempt to teach or instil on campus). He was judged by a sort of in camera process redolent of authoritarian governments.
Best wishes,
M.J.Walker
