A Response to Nicholas Kristof

I didn’t realize the only way to serve the public was to be a consigliere.

As one of those professors teaching four classes at a community college, I do wish I had more time for my (perfectly lucid if I may say so) writing, but I also have a crazy idea that teaching hundreds of working-class, immigrant, and first-generation college students every year might be a way of serving the public. I didn’t realize the only way to do that was to be a consigliere.
