Slipping Response

 I really enjoyed reading "Slipping" and hearing about the recent incident involoving the Confederate Flag on campus and how it was resolved. Living in Bryn Mawr amonst many people of various beliefs and ideas, things like this are bound to happen but it is good we are able resovle these issues peacefully. I liked this quote from page 255 that reads "We cannot learn the truth about what we think or the truth about how others feel about what we think" without open discussion, without a "slip". I really appreciate how Bryn Mawr fosters healthy discussions through our seminars, providing  a place for people to speak openly and learn about other cultures, beliefs, and values.
