Putting the ‘boom’ in ‘Boomer Sooner’?
Harvard Law School has drawn strong criticism for hosting a movie screening of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline,” based on the book of the same name by Andreas Malm, which advocates terrorism as a tool of environmental policy.
Notably, the movie’s website includes a “Take Action” page that includes a map of U.S. oil and gas pipelines.
But Harvard is not the only university where this nonsense has been given a platform.
At the University of Oklahoma, a graduate English seminar on “Forms of Protest” includes “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” among the assigned reading.
Associate Professor James Zeigler says most assignments are documents advocating for political change and nearly all class readings “are devoted to non-violence in principle and as a matter of strategy.” Andreas Malm’s book, he said, “is an exception.”
