That was my initial reaction too, but then I heard that the educational 
community asked the government to intervene because the situation had 
gotten out of hand.

As for the abstract, it seems to rely on a groundless premise. No epoch 
in its right mind (if you will forgive the poetry of it all) would ever 
"pride itself on having defeated fascism, on being an epoch which is no 
longer fascist." Fascism is not dead, nor will it ever be, because it is 
inherent in human nature. One has to strive almost every day to suppress 
one's own fascist tendencies, even if it is on small, everyday matters.
