Yale faculty (philosophers and law professors) vouch for Sarah Braasch, the real victim in the “napping while Black” manufactured scandal

MOVING TO FRONT FROM FEBRUARY 18, UPDATED

The letters of support, after Ms. Braasch was the target of vilification on both actual and social media platforms, are now available for those readers who would like to know who Ms. Braasch really is:  Alan Schwartz, Scott Shapiro, Jason Stanley, Zoltan Szabo.  These letters make it unsurprising that Yale dropped-the charge of racial harassment against Ms. Braasch, a fact that got almost no media attention.

Will some conscientious journalist tackle this case in the mass media?  One hopes so.

ADDENDUM:  Since Yale did not find Ms. Braasch guilty of racial harassment, why did they ban her from campus?  It was presumably to appease the mob, including students at Yale who demanded she be ousted.

UPDATE:  A letter of support from philosopher Shelly Kagan (Yale) is also available now.
