Suffer the Children 0
Writing in the Bangor Daily News, Robert W. Glover, assistant professor of honors and political science at the University of Maine, tries to understand the hostility to the child refugees fleeing to this country. A nugget (emphasis added):
For instance, in recent immigration attitudes research we conducted at the University of Maine, we found individuals consistently employed notions of threat consistent with racial stereotypes, even when these failed to correspond to the facts of a narrative they had just read. This shows how powerful notions of threat hinder our abilities to grasp nuance — or even make us misinterpret reality itself.
