Chronicle Article About Suspending Judgement

A great first person article from the Chronicle of Higher Education about the importance of not judging people, and the fundamental humanity we all share. The sentiment connects well to the Dialogue class I just took.

Key quote:
"Each academic year, at some point, I am forced to confront either my own humanity, or that of one of my students. Those lessons are often extremely uncomfortable, and always arrive unexpectedly."

I need to double check to make sure folks without subscriptions can actually read these articles. I know the Chronicle lets you email article links to non-subscribers.
