How did we ever get to this point … to the point where, as I put it in The Covidian Cult, “instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, the cult has become the dominant culture, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it?”
To understand this, one needs to understand how cults control the minds of their members, because totalitarian ideological movements operate more or less the same way, just on a much larger, societal scale.
I had a job helping people get jobs. Individuals with developmental disabilities. Brain injured, too. That job ended because I sent in a bunch of grievances about hostile work environment, a supervisor who threatened me and yelled at me, and an amazing half year of the most unprofessional work atmosphere I have ever experienced!
Dear UVM Community,
We are writing regarding student concerns about the sexual misconduct reporting process and support services. We hear you, and we recognize that giving voice to incidents of sexual misconduct is difficult. We commend those who have stood up and shared their stories.
To be absolutely clear, the University of Vermont does not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual assault, relationship violence, gender-based stalking, sexual exploitation and sexual harassment, and is committed to responding in a holistic manner when such incidents are disclosed. We respect the rights of both parties to be fully and fairly heard, and to be supported as campus community members without pre-judgment.
