[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We coworker was born in Turkey. He said he is watching this country lose democracy the same as Turkey. So sad.[/quote] This! My DC’s close friend at college is Turkish and has noted the same thing. I am shattered by this and ashamed that foreigners come here to study in part because of our academic freedoms but are finding those freedoms are not what they once were. Students are protesting right now in Turkey against the authoritarian regime of Erdogan. What makes us different than Turkey when someone can be snatched off the street by masked individuals and spirited away to a prison with no due process? The similarities between Turkey and the US right now are particularly jarring.[/quote]
