Bravo for making space for this invaluable perspective. I hope CC never becomes an institution that censors speech or opinions when that very censorship is deemed \u201cfashionable\u201d or \u201cwoke\u201d by self-identified identity fanatics. True empowerment to the individual, or institution, comes through learning, listening, and personal responsibility, not pessimistic finger-pointing by the politically rabid. Good job, CC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christophe Olson \u201987<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Dear <\/strong><strong><em>Bulletin<\/em><\/strong><strong>,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I enjoyed reading <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.coloradocollege.edu\/bulletin\/2019\/12\/letters-to-the-editor-11\/\">Eric Sondermann\u2019s letter<\/a> in the winter 2019 <\/strong><strong><em>Bulletin<\/em><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>I couldn\u2019t agree more, I believe an emphasis on color and identity doesn\u2019t take us very far. What takes us pretty far is a quote I really love from my avatar Bob Dylan. In his most recent Netflix movie, \u201cRolling Thunder,\u201d Bob says,\u00a0\u201cLife isn\u2019t about finding yourself; or finding anything. Life is about creating yourself.\u201d With the premise of \u201ccreating yourself\u201d firmly in hand, I expect some really good classes on \u201cindividual agency\u201d to be offered soon \u2014 I look forward to hearing about them.
