Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

Elaine, this is a masterpiece! Bravo! I especially like "Congressional leaders, for their own political ends, attacking universities and university leaders with the clear intent of amplifying societal suspicions about the crucial role of higher education in a democracy."
