And yet, many of us have never been trained to support students who rely on them, especially in hands-on learning environments like labs, fieldwork, or clinical placements.

I Dr. Alice Ragland live and teach in Ohio, one of the growing number of states passing legislation that claims to protect free speech and intellectual diversity in college classrooms by requiring that all opinions be heard. At first glance, that might sound reasonable, even desirable. But in practice, what these policies really mean is that educators are told we have to give equal weight to opinions that are factually incorrect, racist, sexist, and harmful.

Class conflict has always been woven into the fabric of American higher education. The struggle over access, affordability, and control of knowledge production has long pitted economic elites against working-class and middle-class students, faculty, and staff.
